Kennedy rifle linked to Walker attack
Dallas police say ballistic tests on a mail order rifle suspected in Kennedy's killing show it may be the same weapon used in an earlier attempted assault on Maj. Gen Edwin A. Walker. The officers cautioned the report is not final though the slug comparisons were favorable. Walker was hit while at his home last April during tax work, with fragments and a golf ball sized hole reported in the wall. Marina Oswald, widow of Lee Harvey Oswald, has told investigators she heard her husband say he killed the former Army officer.
