San Diego County's Sheriff says the agent was working as a security guard and fired as the gunman was fleeing, hitting the getaway car. The sheriff says there were indications that the attacker's gun might have malfunctioned.

Chernow says President George Washington also felt maligned and misunderstood by the press, but he never generalized that into a vendetta.
