Six went down wounded from the barrage of rounds fired.Forty nine citizens were injured by shotgun blast and semi-automatic rifle fire. Two died as a result of being struck by the 'sniper’s bullets.The crazed gunman, high on 'angel dust,' reigned terror at the Battle of Flowers Parade in San Antonio.This is an account of an officer’s career from 'tattoos' to retirement including stories of a serial rapist, hi-jackers, systematic burglars, a habitual drunk driver, a capital murder arrest and the death of a 'sniper.'
