2. Shooting

You're on the
graveyard shift at the Centerville Gazette. You phone the cops to see if
anything's going on. Lt. Jane Ortlieb of the Centerville Police Department
tells you the following:

There was a shooting
tonight at the Fandango Bar & Grill on Wilson Street in the Grangeville
section of the city. Two men in the bar got into an argument. When the two
started shoving each other, the bartender threw them out. For several minutes,
people in the bar said they could hear the men still arguing on the street
outside. Then there was the sound of a shot being fired. A few patrons rushed
outside to see what had happened, and one of the men who had been arguing lay
on the ground in a pool of blood. He'd been shot in the forehead. The victim
appeared to be in his mid-30s and was dressed in an expensive-looking suit and
tie. The shooter was nowhere to be seen.


The shooting occurred
around 10:45 p.m.

Ortlieb tells you the
man was rushed to St. Mary's Hospital but was DOA. She says homicide detectives
are on the scene interviewing bar patrons about what happened but so far, no
one seems to know much. "That's not surprising," she adds. "The
Fandango is a known hangout for drug dealers and users, and people aren't
likely to talk." Ortlieb says detectives don't yet have a motive for the
shooting, but she speculates that the two might have been arguing over a drug
deal.

Just as you're about
to hang up, Ortlieb tells you she just got the cause of death from the hospital
- a .38-caliber bullet wound to the head. "And oh yeah," Ortlieb
adds, "We got an ID on the victim. He's Peter Wickham, press secretary for
the mayor. Age 35." Centerville's mayor is named Fred Wiley.
