No, Milk was a deliberate target. Mayor Moscone was prepared to let White have his job back on the Board of Supervisors after he quit in a fit of pique. Milk read Moscone the riot act and told him NOT to appoint White to fill his vacancy. And that is what set off White.

Thanks for the update. It is completely opposite of what I have read. I'll take your word for it.

I always read that White wanted Moscone dead, and Milk happened to be in the office at the time.
