Did you walk close to the buildings, so you weren’t out in the open?
Yes. I wouldn’t go out in the courtyard or whatever they called it, it was a large open space between all the buildings which were on either side. It occurred to me how easy it would be to be up somewhere and pick people off.
Remember this was 1970 and really I don’t remember many or any shootings around that time, or before, other than that one. There might have been but it wasn’t a regular part of the news, at all. Those days we didn’t even lock our doors.
