In the SE USA where I was about to graduate from high school, in the local news it was presented as "inner city terrorists handled with appropriated force"
I'm not surprised there was a deal of confusion about it. It was a complicated affair that doesn't have much analogue in contemporary history AFAIK.
It wasn't until I went to university in the fall of that same year in a large metropolitan city with a diverse collection of dazzling urbanites that I was exposed to other points of view.
