HOUSTON (UPI)—A man iden-

45, walked into the sports depart-
ment of a downtown store
Wednesday, took a rifle from the
gun rack, loaded it, and shot
himself in the chest.
He bent over the muzzle of the
gun. The slug tore a “big hole”
in him, police said, and went on
upward into the ceiling of the
store.
Police said Featherstone had
the bullets with him when he
went into the store. The fatal
bullet was a .30 caliber with a
hollow point.
