In early 1993 the ATF (they seem to be in the middle of all the crap all the time) and the FBI brutally murdered 76 people, most of them US citizens, after previously killing 6 people in a botched raid. The victims died in a fire started by the authorities.
Government actions were justified by the AG at the time, in part, because "the children were being abused". Twenty children were killed in the final raid.
