Ghiggioli's stepson, 21-year-old James Morgan, was shot through the arm but received only a flesh wound. Investigating officer Robert Hayes said that Chamberlain was visiting friends who live across the street from the Ghiggioli home. He went out "for a breath of fresh air" and went over to the victim's home. He already knew Mrs. Ghiggioli and Sandra since they had been baby sitters for Chamberlain's two children. When Sandra answered the door, Hayes said Chamberlain tried to kiss her and invited her out to his car. She ran into the bedroom, where her mother, father and sister were sitting. Chamberlain walked in right behind her. He pulled out the weapon, which had been concealed in his coat, and began firing without saying a word. Ghiggioli was killed outright and the daughters wounded. Mrs. Ghiggioli hid in a closet and was not harmed. Chamberlain then went out to reload his weapon, accord ing to Hayes. Morgan, an airman at Ham ilton Air Force Base, drove up. Chamberlain walked over to him and fired. Morgan turned and fled, blood drip ping from his wounded arm. Sheriff's deputies arrived moments later after neighbors had reported a family row. Chamberlain was found sit ting in a tree across the street from the Ghiggioli home. He had his gun pointed at un suspecting sheriff's officers Ted Ries and William Weyl, but he tossed it down and sur rendered without a fight.
