Gunman in siege refuses surrender after hours in Chicago
In Chicago a gunman who killed his landlord and a police officer and held a elderly woman hostage spoke through negotiators saying he was sorry two people died. He showed signs of fatigue after 14 hours in a North Side house but did not surrender. The 74-year-old hostage remained unharmed as talks continued. Meanwhile in London Britain granted a visa to Olga Peters, Stalin’s U S born teenage granddaughter, to study, while her 60-year-old mother Svetlana Alliluyeva’s plans were unclear.
