...then dragged over to the pavilion where Kaiser and Carter were being held facedown on the concrete with a sawed-off shotgun. "Do it!" one of the assailants commanded. And Carter was shot in the back of the head with a .22-cal. handgun at point-blank range. The attacker with the sawed-off shotgun took aim at Nicole's face.
