Senator Cooper. What was the sequence of time between the time you saw the flight of the pigeons and you heard the shot?
Mr. Baker. As I got that motorcycle straightened up, and I hadn't gone just a very few feet there, it didn't seem like, you know, I went very far, but it is possible I went, we figured maybe 80, 60 to 80 feet there, and I looked up, as the shots started, I immediately looked up, you know. I was already facing ahead and I just kind of raised, I sighted up, and while I was looking up, those other two shots came off, and as I come up, I noticed those pigeons start to fly up there, but I really didn't see which, there were so many of them I couldn't tell which building they were coming from but I know they were all over.
Say you were facing north like Houston they were in the sky facing north in the street.
Senator Cooper. Which way were the pigeons going?
Mr. Baker. They were just coming up, you know.
Senator Cooper. I assume you are a hunter, aren't you, from what you said?
Mr. Baker. Yes, sir; I try to be.
Senator Cooper. Have you seen birds in flight when they are suddenly startled?
Mr. Baker. Yes, sir.
Senator Cooper. Well, was this the character of the flight of pigeons you saw?
