Death in Los Angeles Safehouse Shootout
Atwood, along with five other founding members of the SLA, including Donald DeFreeze, was killed in Los Angeles, on May 17, 1974, in a shootout with police. It was Atwood's death that prompted Soliah to hold a memorial service for her and other members of the SLA, which ultimately drew Soliah and a few others into the group, giving the SLA life for two more years.

Suddenly I meet your face.”

As minutes in the clock do strike so call for death I shall:

That rather had to die in troth than live forsaken so.”

For which that Jesu Crist himself was slain
That boughte us with his herte blood again—
