Mr. McCullough. I think what they did was proper. In other words, I feel that they felt that they had the situation under complete control. That had everyone stayed in the positions, with no movement, that there was sufficient space in there to guard the prisoner and to move him out without anything going wrong in the basement.
Mr. Griffin. You say that on the assumption that there was nobody in there bent upon shooting him.
Mr. McCullough. That is right. There, again, you don’t want to get too much personal opinion there, but I think it is possible at any time for anyone who really wants to kill somebody to do it—a public official or anyone else.
Mr. Griffin. So that our record may be complete here, how many years experience have you had as a newspaper reporter?
Mr. McCullough. Twenty-six years.
Mr. Griffin. Prior to your giving your testimony here this morning, have I or any other member of the staff of this Commission discussed your testimony with you?
Mr. McCullough. No; not at all.
Mr. Griffin. Mr. Pollak, do you have any further questions?
Mr. Pollak. No; I don’t think so.
Mr. Griffin. Do you have anything, Mr. McCullough?
