Youth Shows First Sign
Of Remorse for Shooting
PASCO. Wash. (APi — Six
teen-vear-old Richard Petersen
has apparently shown his first
sign of worry or remorse for the
Friday shooting spree which
Killed a policeman and wounded
his father and grandfather.
The 5-foot-ll, 220-pound high
school youth was defiant under
long police questioning Saturday
and burst out at one point. “If
there had been a hundred of you.
I would have killed you all." Po
lice Chief A. L. McKibbin said.
But Saturday night his feelings
must have changed, his jailer
said.
While food was being given
hjm in his cell, young Petersen
remarked:
“I wonder if they'll hang me.”
His father, P. H. Petersen. 52,
a roofer, remained in a critical
condition with a rifle wound in
the stomach. His maternal grand

Dispute Causes Shooting
The immediate motive for the
outbreak in which Patrolman
Alva A. Jackson, 38. was fatal
ly wounded with .22 calibre shots
in the mouth and body before
grappling with the youth, ap
parently was a dispute over his
drinking. Chief McKibbin said.
Jackson helped subdue and
put kim in an automobile before
collapsing.
The youth's mother was also
quoted as saying it must have
been “either marijuana or liq
uor."
The father reprimanded his
son, an only child, for having
drunk beer when he came home
from school Friday, Chief Mc
Kibbin said.
An argument began and the
father was shot as he ran into
the street, as was his grand
father a few minutes later.
Kills Patrolman
Patrolman Jackson, rushing
with other officers to the scene,
found the youth between two
cabins. Apparently thinking he
was unarmed, he moved toward
him and Petersen opened fire.
Before dying later at the hos
pital, Jackson told McKibbin:
“Well, .1 got him, chief,”
Police Capt. Glenn Sickles, an
investigator, said Peterson had
a juvenile record, ;playing hookey
from school often, and had been
arrested for breaking out street
| lights and other vandalism.
Late Afternoon
Panic in Theater
Kills 22 Children
SCLESSIN, Belgium (AP) ;
The tiny Theater Kio. packed |
with children and adults for the
late afternoon show, burst into j
flames Sunday and at least 39;
persons died in the panic.
The *9 badly burned bodies,
including those of 22 children
were removed from the burned
out movie house late Sunday
night.
They were placed in a nearby
school gymnasium for relatives to
identify the remains. Eight other
persons were hospitalized.
The theater, a narrow building
in the middle of a Belgian and'
Italian steel workers' district,
was showing “Adventure of Se
villa” in which the popular
Basque crooner. Luis Mariano, is
start ing.
Suddenly, said eyewitnesses,!
the screen burst into flames.
Somenone shouted: “FireI" A
general panic followed, with the
strongest forcing their way to
ward the main exit through a
corridor six feet wide and 50 feet
long.
Some Trampled
The weaker were trampled un
deifoot by the rush of spectators
in the front rows to the rear.
The emergency exits on either
side of the screen were suddenly I
blocked by flames, and quickly j
the whole house was ablaze.
When firemen arrived there
was not much they could do but
protect nearby houses.
Theater in Kuinn
Except for the facade the mo-j
vie theater was teduced to a pile j
of black ruins.
A police officer told the story j
of a 13-year-old heroine who is j
missing. She is Jeanne Rombaut. j
Jeanne worked her way out of
the burning theater only to dis- j
cover that her two little sisters
and their friends were still in- J
side.
Twice she rushed back through
choking smoke and emerged with
her two sisters. The third time,
she ran back in she did not come
out.
Another little girl of 11, a po
lice officer said, succeeded in get
ting near the exit, holding her 4
year-old sister in her arms. Then
under the pressuie of the pan
icked crowd she dropped the
baby. The child is presumably
among the unidentified bodies.
