Five Congressmen
Injured lii Wild Gun
Fire Demonstration
Termed Most Amaxing
Episode In Country's
Entire History
In a report to this publica
tion Monday, Rep. Robert T.
Secrest of Ohio's 15th con
gressional district, said he
found it difficult to believe
that such a thing as the wild
demonstration and shooting
in the U. S. House Representa
tives that day, could happen in
America.
Secrest was in the midst of the
pistol fire by Puerto Ricans on
Monday afternoon. He occupied
a seat only four places away
from Congressman George H.
Fallon of Missouri, who received
a bullet through his thigh. Fal
lon was seated in the same row
of desks as Secrest.
Seven seats to Secrest's right
was another of the wounded
congressmen, Kenneth Roberts,
of Alabama. They were facing
the gallery where the Puerto
Rican Nationalists were among
a group of tourists.
"The most amazing episode in
the history of Congress," said
witnesses, and Secrest added, "I
didn't realize at first just what
was happening. The shots were
fired so rapidly that they sound
ed as if they came from a
machine gun but it was all over
in a few seconds. They were
shooting wildly. There were
bullet holes in desks, the floor
and even the ceiling. It was
a lucky thing that more of us
weren't hit."
IIe» commented that it was "an
experience I don't wish to go
through again, but I suppose it's
just another hazard of being a
congressman."
