The troops set up their machine guns on the roofs of the low buildings at the corners of the main square, closed off the access streets,[4]after a five-minute warning[1] opened fire into a dense Sunday crowd of workers and their families including children who had gathered, after Sunday Mass,[4] to wait for an anticipated address from the governor

You missed literally the rest of the sentence.

I didnt miss anything, what I dont understand is why the crowd wouldnt disperse when given a 5 min warning? From everything I read the crowd refused to disperse, leading to the massacre. I get why they were there in the first place, but not why they would remain when given a warning to leave. You seem to be the one missing that detail.

Once again, I'll refer you to the bolded statement. I'm giving you a reason that you're ignoring, so yes, you're not 'missing' it so much as disregarding it. In which case, we can't have a discussion.
