It was obvious he had little control of the rifle by the pattern of the bullet holes in the wall above the fireplace. On seeing him enter, Arthur Jackaman grabbed a bar stool to use as a weapon; however, hearing the rifle click, he sensed the magazine must be empty, so he wrestled it from him and dragged him into the street, proceeding to the lock-up and having to fend off a good many others who wanted to deal with him along the way.'\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eThis was an act we consider worthy of record.
