Talk:Fred William Bowerman

Erroneous info
"One police sergeant was killed, shot in both hands and the neck," - neither newspaper accounts https://stltoday.newspapers.com/clip/4663838/sensational_bank_robbery_was_basis_for/ nor the 'Officer Down Memorial Page' https://www.odmp.org/search?name=&agency=St+Louis+Police+Department&state=Missouri&from=1953&to=1953&cause=&filter=all report any officer killed at the time of the St Louis bank robbery. One officer, a Corporal Heitz, suffered wounds to the head and neck, but survived and served on the department another 4 years, retiring in 1957. He died in 1993. I am rewording the sentence.

This "Bowerman, attempting to find a getaway car outside, was shot in the chest by police officer Melburn F. Stein. The bullet pierced a lung and lodged in his spine. One of his partners, William Scholl (though this also has been attributed to Bowerman),[2] took a female hostage and held a shotgun on her as he attempted to escape, making his way out onto the sidewalk before he shoved the woman to the pavement, breaking both her wrists." is in complete contradiction to every report, all of which identify Bowerman - not Scholl - as the hostage taker.

Eh ?
His criminal career lasted more than 30 years, one reads. How can that be if it began in the 1930s {when, exactly ?} and ended [cause he was dead then] in 1953 ? --2001:A61:42E:4F01:7067:F20A:C1B3:5AB9 (talk) 18:30, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
