Fired a handgun at a suspected intruder.
Problem was this man was Carl Rowan, liberal columnist and anti-handgun absolutist.
Those were the days when the MSM had a hammerlock on stories and 'the truth' but Rowan's hypocrisy stunk so bad it even permeated the MSM's storm windows.
I remember that incident well. In a city that banned possession of handguns, Rowan used a .22 revolver to shoot a teenager who was sneaking into his backyard pool to swim at night. Then, he tried to claim the revolver wasn’t his, and claimed it belonged to his son who was an FBI agent at the time. Rowan and son claimed it was his “service revolver.” Yep. That story had all the flight characteristics of a brick, and nearly cost the younger Rowan his career.
