As half time neared in the scoreless match, a noisy squabble several hundred feet from the game erupted in gunfire. The gunmen charged onto the playing field, firing wildly at wit- nesses to their fight and anyone else who got in the way. Fowles, who once outran a quarter horse for 80 yards, could not outrun the bullets flying at him. Said Charles Benedict, an eyewitness: "What happened to Colin was cold-blooded murder...
