The Tippit Case in the New Millenium

[Milo Reech]

Milo:

If he was coming from Denver St then he must have gone right through tenth street and the scene of the crime.

And he says that the whole thing happened as he was going through the intersection at 10th and Patton? And he was looking backward from inside his car?

A1: Tatum heard shots as he "approached the intersection."
A2: Yes.

--from Tatum's 2/1/78 HSCA statement:

The next thing I knew I heard something that sounded like gun shots as I approached the intersection. (10th & Patton). I heard three shots in rapid (illegible) I went right through the intersection, stopped my car and turned to look back. I then saw the officer lying on the street and saw this young white man standing near the front of the squad car.
