Wallace fourth figure shot in a decade
In Washington, Alabama Governor George Wallace became the fourth national political figure shot in a decade. The attack followed a pattern of violence that echoed Kennedy's 1963 Dallas death and King’s Memphis killing, as Kennedy died after California primary wins and Wallace fell ahead of Maryland and Michigan contests. Officials warned that crowd interaction remains dangerous for presidential hopefuls.
