He literally admitted to participating in the shootout in his memoir.

At the time of the murder of the 2 FBI Agents Peltier had an outstanding federal warrant for attempted murder of a Milwaukee WI police officer.

Norman Charles fired at the agents with a stolen British .308 rifle, Peltier had an AR-15 rifle, in total, 125 bullet holes were found in the agents' vehicles, many from a .223 Remington AR-15 rifle.

On September 9, 1975, Peltier purchased a station wagon, the following day, AIM member Robideau, Norman Charles, and Michael Anderson were injured in the accidental explosion of ammunition from Peltier's station wagon on the Kansas Turnpike close to Wichita. Agent Coler's .308 rifle and an AR-15 rifle were found in the burned vehicle.

The FBI forwarded a description of a recreational vehicle (RV) and the Plymouth station wagon (recently purchased by Peltier) to law enforcement during the hunt for the suspects. The RV was stopped by an Oregon State Trooper, but the driver, later discovered to be Peltier, fled on foot after a small shootout. Peltier's thumbprint and Agent Coler's handgun were discovered under the RV's front seat.
