No Gun Ri Massacre - Aftermath

Aftermath

Information about the refugee killing reached the U.S. command in Korea and the Pentagon by late August 1950, in the form of a captured and translated North Korean military document that described the discovery. Evidence of high-level knowledge also appeared a month later in a New York Times article from Korea, which reported, without further detail, that an unnamed high-ranking U.S. officer told the reporter that a U.S. Army regiment had shot "many civilians" that July. No evidence has emerged, however, that the U.S. military investigated the incident at the time.
