Ostensibly there was a gun fired which killed the Trooper.
She was convicted for being an accessory/ simply being present as was the law, not for shooting.
She and Zayd Malik Shakur who died were certainly targets under the FBI's COINTELPRO program. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COINTELPRO
The trooper may have been going about his business and ran into a paranoid Zayd Shakur or, and I don't know yet, was there as an assassin or just simply believed to be one by Zayd?
Perhaps it was something else in the minds of the men at the time. A lot more reading required.
