Although Brown had been associated with NBC for less than a year, he had free-lanced with his cameras from the time he got out of school. 

“Bob was there for the Black Panther shootout in Berkeley several years ago in which a CBS soundman was killed. His films of that were never shown because they were confiscated as evidence by the courts,” said Tarrant. 

“He also managed to get between the lines for the shootout between Los Angeles Police and the Symbionese Liberation Army, had been in Viet Nam and was captured in Cambodia. 

Tarrant’s first inkling of the calamity came early Sunday morning when his sister called from Los Angeles to tell him that she had just been notified by NBC of the airport ambush. 

The Norwalk resident, a native of New Jersey, will be leaving either Wednesday or Thursday for Los Angeles. “Right now, bureaucracy has the body. You know how that can be. We’re just waiting for word,” he said.
