47. Interview with CHP Sergeant (ret.) Ingold and Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department Homicide investigation files.

48. Personal interview with CHP Officer (Retired) Richard Robinson.

49. Davis encountered Daniel Joseph Schwartz during his escape and fired a single shot at him while Mr. Schwartz was inside the camper shell on his 1963 International Scout pickup. Mr. Schwartz blindly returned gunfire through the door of the camper with his Enfield No.2 Mk I* revolver, chambered for the relatively impotent .38/200 (or .38 S&W) cartridge. One of his three bullets struck Davis and slightly wounded him, according to the CHP. The weak bullets didn’t have much energy after penetrating the camper, which is why Davis was not more seriously wounded.

After Davis threatened to burn him out, Mr. Schwartz exited the vehicle and fired his remaining three rounds at Davis (perhaps wounding him again—Davis had an armpit wound and a wound to the right neck/collarbone area), whereupon Davis clubbed him with the now empty revolver that he had stolen from the dead Officer Frago.
