Deadly Capitol Shooting Shows Mad Ex-Employee in Texas History
In June 1903 Col. Robert Love, state comptroller, is shot by ex-employee W. G. Hill in the Texas Capitol after a confrontation with a Bonham preacher. A chilling sequence ends with Hill's death and Love’s fatal wounds. The crime prompts debate on security and motives, with Love dictating a deathbed statement before dying. The event is tied to a noted Best of This Week in Texas History feature.
