  • Founding member of the Symbionese Liberation Army
  • Killed in a 1974 shootout with Los Angeles police



Angela “Gelina” Atwood was a founding member of the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), a domestic terrorist group of the 1970s.

The daughter of a local teamster boss, Atwood was a member of the Catholic Youth Organization in high school. She attended the University of Indiana, where she met leftwing activist and future husband Gary Atwood as well as William and Emily Harris, who would eventually become members of the SLA. The Atwoods thereafter moved to San Francisco, where Angela befriended Kathleen Soliah (a.k.a. Sara Jane Olson). Angela and Gary Atwood separated, and Angela joined the SLA along with the Harrises and her new boyfriend, Russell Little.

Atwood was killed in a May 17, 1974 shootout with Los Angeles police, along with five other founding members of the SLA, including Donald DeFreeze. It was Atwood's death that prompted Soliah to hold a memorial service for her and other members of the SLA, which ultimately drew Soliah and a few others into the group, giving it life for two more years.
