Plane reportedly involved in Bullneck Cove shooting incident
Miss Buxton suffered a severe leg wound from a bullet that grazed and passed through her calf at the Bullneck Cove wharf in Oakland Beach. Dr. Bernard Gilbert of Boston treated her as federal and naval officers sought to identify the plane and flyers linked to the incident. The case was reported to U.S. Marshal John J. Richards by Clarence P. Cotton. The Nicholson destroyer is anchored offshore, and military officials pursued the aircraft’s origin while other local news noted political and military updates.
