According to Thompson, McIntire left the Veteran's Cab stand at 314 East Main, where the shooting took place, and returned later with his .380 Browning pistol blazing. Washington, inside the cab office and approximately eight feet from the door, was shot in the left forearm, left shoulder and the left side of the stomach. While falling, Washington emptied his gun of six rounds, two of which struck McIntire who reportedly had been drinking. McIntire was shot in the left arm pit and in the front of his right leg near the thigh. At the police station today a pall of gloom came over the officers when notified of Washington's death.
Services are pending.
