LOST MURDERER?

By Bob Walsh

Nicholas McWherter was (allegedly) a deeply religious young man who simply lost his way and died in a hail of police gunfire merely because he shot a S.F.P.D. cop in the head.

I don't know about you, but when I feel lost I turn on the GPS, check a map or (and I realize this is a violation of the man code) ask for directions. Any of these could be literal or metaphorical.

Cops responded to a call of a man acting erratically (what is erratic in S. F. anyway?) and threatening people The initial responding cops did not know that McWherter was armed and he shot a cop in the face, then fled. He was shot and eventually blasted with flash-bang grenades and taken into custody. He died Sunday, five days after being shot.

The wounded officer is still in the hospital and may never return to duty. He had two years on the force.
