Camilla Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Camilla Hall aka Gabi (1945 - May 17, 1974) was an early member of the Symbionese Liberation Army. The daughter of a Lutheran pastor, she was the only surviving child of four; two of her siblings died of a kidney disorder and a third of polio.
Camilla moved to Los Angeles in 1968 in search of a place where her art and her lesbianism would be more welcome. She lived there for three years, surviving on a small income from her art sales, before moving to Berkeley, where she fell in love with her upstairs neighbor, Patricia Soltysik, to whom she gave the name "Mizmoon".
Camilla died in a shootout (May 17, 1974, with 9000 rounds of ammunition fired) with police in which five other SLA members were killed. Reportedly, she was shot in the head while charging the police with a pistol.
