As he and five fellow workers who were riding in a blue Volkswagen pulled into the employees' parking lot, ambushers opened fire. A hail of 20 bullets struck the crammed car.

Conditions. This scarcely veiled threat brought a hail of phone calls to OTP offices in Washington from worried station owners.
