Friday. July 31.1998
Wounded tourist can identity gunman
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Wounded, Angela Dickinson dove
for the floor during the shootout in
the Capitol but says she saw
enough in the chaos around her to
identify the gunman accused of
killing two police officers.
“Considering all that happened, I
truly did come out the lucky one,”
Dickinson said Thursday in her
first public remarks on last week’s
gunfire.
“I only wish that there were three
surviving victims instead of just
me,” she said. “May God bless
you.”
Across the Potomac in Virginia,
one of the policemen, Special
NATION
Agent John Gibson, was buried at
Arlington National Cemetery after
a procession of police vehicles that
stretched for miles along the route
from the funeral in Lake Ridge, Va.
The procession slowly wound
past the Capitol, where the flags
were still at half-staff, before mov-
ing on to Arlington.
“He saved many lives. He’s lost
his own,” said 11-year-old Thomas
Holman, who looked on, dressed in
his Boy Scout uniform.
The other officer, Jacob J. Chest-
nut, will be buried at Arlington on
Friday.
Meanwhile, shooting suspect
Russell E. Weston Jr., remained in
the hospital recovering from his
wounds, unable to attend a sched-
uled arraignment in court.
Weston has not entered a plea to
a charge of killing federal officers,
which can carry the death penalty
upon conviction.
His lawyer asked to postpone the
court date nearly three weeks, but
the judge did not immediately rule
on that.
Also Thursday, the judge
unsealed court orders allowing var-
ious people to visit Weston in the
hospital, including two psychia-
trists.
Attorney A. J. Kramer has met
with Weston at least twice this
week but has declined to answer
questions about his client’s mental
condition.
Weston’s family has said he is a
diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic
who often ranted against the feder-
al government and believed agents
had planted mines on the land
around his Montana cabin.
Dickerson, in a news conference
with her lawyer and her husband,
said she is recovering well from
two gunshot wounds but has flash-
backs of the shooting.
