If they had been members of the Weather Underground at the time, you would be correct, but you are simply misinformed. They were members of the Black Liberation Army, or something like that, at the time of the robbery. Look it up. If you already looked it up, then you picked a poor source- it should have read '"former" weather underground members David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin mudered two police officers while working for the Black Liberation Army..."

"Two police officers and one security guard were murdered by Weather Underground members David Gilbert and Kathy Boudin in a robbery of a Brinks truck"

The sentence about is historically inaccurate and gives a false impression of what really happened. Tsk tsk tsk

The Weather Underground were careful not to kill anyone, and planned their bombings expressly not to kill anyone. And they didn't. If you look it up again, you will find this is easily verifiable.
