scuftie his pistol went off and believe he
shot himself We then wrestled out of the
room toward the stairway and both fell
down stairs, Barton on top of me. Then we
separated, and when we reached the pave
ment number of employees came
down and struck me several times and
handed me to the police. Ny brother had
nothing to do with the shooting. Barton
shot himself first and then pointed his pis-

defense and fired one shot" Soteldo has
remained entirely conscious, but is para
