I was by the television tower at that tragic time with my daughter Rasa, a second year student at Vilnius University. Officers attacked with tanks from two sides: from one side came tanks with paratroopers, and from the other came some tanks without paratroopers which crawled up the hill, trying to disperse people from the lawn. My daughter Rasa was standing near a girl who was run over. She watched as a paratrooper rushed over to the corpse and stumbling shouted: „Ja ne mogu tak dalše!" („l can't do this any longer!") The soldier was quickly pulled back into the tank. Together with people dressed in white smocks, I rushed up the hill to the fence where they were shouting for help for two injured people. But there were soldiers standing by the wire gate, and they wouldn't let us in. Tanks were continuously circling behind them. After about twenty minutes, they let one medic in, but he couldn't find anyone in the dark... Later they announced over the loudspeaker that power had changed hands, yet they continued to shoot. A man standing near me was shot above the knee.
... Tanks came from two sides. One soldier who was by a girl who had been crushed by a tank began to scream: „Nemogu tak dalše!" („l can't do this any more!") Other soldiers grabbed him as if he were a frog and dragged him away against his will...
