Not ready to fire.”He loaded and took aim at Mr. Woodham, but did not fire out of fear of hitting someone in the background. “I didn’t just go blasting away.”After seeing Mr. Myrick pointing his gun, Mr. Woodham retreated from campus, got in his car and began to drive away. As Mr. Myrick ran after him on foot, the car spun out and came to a stop 20 steps away from Mr. Myrick.
