Above is documentary evidence that strongly refutes the constant allegation of:
"Norris Killed An Unarmed Man."
Note that Chipps was accompanied by an "UNKNOWN ACCOMPLICE." Does it not make sense that we have another view of this event which just might reveal an apparent (no pun intended) cover-up?
This newspaper account was published ONE HOUR after the event occurred, which does give credence to the fact that this unknown accomplice could have confiscated the gun before the police arrived, which is a far superior theory than all these hearsay myths, which later became adulterated.

That newspaper published a correction the next day. As with the recent Navy Yard shooting story, news accounts at first get facts wrong ( they initially said there was more than one shooter). Certainly true of Norris story as the facts became clear. Chipps came alone and was unarmed -- Norris or others never testified differently, though through the years the myths were perpetuated and still are by people who choose them over the truth
