=== Aftermath === In all, four ATF agents were killed, sixteen were wounded, and six Branch Davidians died in the initial raid on February 28. Seventy-six more died in the final assault on April 19, including children.<ref name=":3" /> The events at Waco spurred criminal prosecution and civil litigation. A federal grand jury indicted twelve of the surviving Branch Davidians β including [[Clive Doyle]], [[Brad Branch]], [[Ruth Riddle]], and [[Livingstone Fagan]] β charging them with aiding and abetting in the murder of federal officers, and unlawful possession and use of various firearms. Eight Branch Davidians were convicted on firearms charges, five convicted of [[voluntary manslaughter]], and four were acquitted of all charges.<ref>p. 7403 of the trial transcripts</ref> As of July 2007, all Branch Davidians had been released from prison.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.foxnews.com/story/six-branch-davidians-due-for-release-13-years-after-waco-inferno|title=Six Branch Davidians Due for Release 13 Years After Waco Inferno|last=Associated Press|date=April 19, 2006|work=Fox News}}</ref> Civil suits were brought against the [[United States government]], federal officials, former governor of Texas [[Ann Richards]], and members of the [[Texas Army National Guard]]. The bulk of these claims were dismissed because they were insufficient as a matter of law or because the plaintiffs could advance no material evidence in support of them. One case, ''Andrade v. Chojnacki'', made it to the [[Fifth Circuit]], which upheld a previous ruling of "take-nothing, denied".<ref>''Andrade v. Chojnacki'', 338 F.3d 448 (5th Cir. 2003), cert. denied (2004).</ref>
