I would, if the attackers survive long enough for the next one to join in.
If the sequence of actions is like this:

15: ganger 1 attacks & is killed
12: ganger 2 attacks & is killed
10: ganger 3 attacks & is killed
6: Mr. C kills ganger 4

I wouldn't give anyone any TN modifiers. However, if it were like this:

15: ganger 1 attacks & lives
12: ganger 2 attacks & lives
10: ganger 3 attacks & lives
6: Mr. C attacks ganger 4

then Mr. C would get a +3 TN modifier and the gangers a -3, because
they're all still there.

There's an important difference there, I think.
