General Walker's Assassination

Major General Edwin A. Walker narrowly escaped death when a rifle bullet fired from outside his home past near his head as he was seated at his desk. There were no eyewitnesses, although a 14 year old boy in a neighboring house claimed that immediately after the shooting he saw two men in separate cars drive out of a church parking lot adjacent to Walker's home. The police couldn't determine much from the bullet that had been fired, in part because it was fragmented making ballistics testing harder and they didn't have a gun to match it with.
