TESTIMONY_GIVER:
  Yes, we were at supper early in the evening.   There was a knock at the door.   I was sitting with my back to the wall in this diningroom and my wife was sitting at the other end of the table with her back to the door.   And in between was my son.   There was a knock at the door.   She, Maggie, my wife, got up and opened the door and there was this young man stark naked except for his underpants and smeared all over with what oil with a pistol in his hands, which he fired at me, and missed from five paces.

So, he rushed out from his shower with this towel around his waist into the back yard and there saw a car with all the lights off sort of slowly creeping down towards the back gate.  As I say, there was no gate on that entrance, creeping away, and there is one thing you should never do when there is any sort of policeman around and tiptoe about in a car with all the lights off.   So, he ran down after this thing on his bare feet and as he got to the gate the driver put on the brakes and there was the number illuminated, and he saw that this was a woman driving the car.
