Crusader’
dies in fight
over drugs
FORT WORTH (AP) — Relatives of
a martial arts expert who was shot to
death as he challenged three drug dealers
say they had warned him against carry
ing his anti-drug crusade to an apartment
complex.
Relatives said Ruben Washington Jr.,
38, armed himself with a martial arts
club called a nunchaku before going to
the Fort Worth apartment complex Satur
day.
Police said Washington, a machinist
until he was laid off three days before his
death, was fatally shot in a parking lot
Saturday after he fought one man and re
fused to run when others threatened him.
One of the relatives who urged Wash
ington not to do battle with the drug deal
ers was his father, Ruben Washington
Sr., a Texas Department of Corrections
officer.
“I told him you’re only one person
and there’s nothing you can do about it,”
the father told the Fort Worth Star-Tele
gram on Sunday. ‘‘But he wasn’t afraid
of anything. When he set his heart to do
something, he did it.”
Longtime friend Rufus Milton said he
tried to talk Washington out of going to
the apartment complex about three hours
before he was killed.
‘‘He told me he just had to do it,”
Milton said.
“He was just a person who was tired
of drug dealing and tried to run some of
them off,” detective Roger SoRelle said.
“He was totally against drugs.”
Police issued an arrest warrant for one
man Sunday and SoRelle said others
have been implicated.
Fort Worth Police Sgt. Dennis Tim
mons said the complex Washington
chose for his crusade has been the site of
numerous complaints about drug sales.
SoRelle said one of the dealers Wash
ington fought with fled from the complex
after being beaten. When other men
armed with a shotgun and pistol came at
Washington he still refused to back off,
SoRelle said.
Three shots were fired at him, striking
him in the chest, head, leg and forearm,
the officer said.
The officer said witnesses told police
that once Washington was on the
ground, his assailants forcefully beat
him. Several of the witnesses cried out.
urging the assailants to stop attacking
Washington, the officer said.
Diner ‘hero’
goes back
for seconds
ANNISTON, Ala. (AP) — A soldier
who disarmed a gunman in a restaurant,
saving about 50 diners from possible vio
lence, returned for another meal, down
playing his role as hero.
“I was just there to react in case he did
something stupid,” said Army Staff Sgt.
Wendell Williams, 29, the son of a Dal
las policeman. “It’s not my nature to
stand there and be quiet.”
Williams grabbed the gun away from
Darren Smith, 20, of Anniston, in a Sho-
ney’s restaurant Friday night. Police said
Smith had been holding a busboy at gun
point in an attempt to see his estranged
wife, a Shoney’s employee who had
signed a warrant against Smith for ha
rassment.
Smith was jailed on charges including
kidnapping and reckless endangerment,
and later he was charged with first-de
gree arson in connection with a fire set at
the city jail. No bond had been set Mon
day.
Williams returned to the Shoney’s for
another meal Sunday night, and in an in
terview with the Anniston Star, he said
his action was not dramatic.
Still, he said, “I thought it was kind of
neat. You go to a slow town like this,
and you don’t expect something like this
to happen, especially at Shoney’s.”
Williams, a Dallas native, is stationed
in Germany but is taking advanced non
commissioned officer training at Fort
McClellan, near Anniston. When the
gunman entered the restaurant, Williams
had finished eating and was in the bath
room.

Group lobbies for gun law
DALLAS (AP) — The Texas State Ri
fle Association, which has campaigned
twice to win law enforcement support for
state legislation allowing residents to
pack concealed handguns, believes the
third time is a charm.
The association again is seeking pas
sage of a state law allowing any Texas
resident with a clean criminal and psy
chiatric record to carry a concealed hand
gun.
The association plans to introduce to
the Texas Legislature in January a plan
to establish for the first time in the state a
way for law-abiding citizens to carry a
handgun for their own protection, Dave
Edmondson, executive director of the
National Rifle Association’s Texas affil
iate, said.
He said he discussed the proposal with
the Sheriffs Association of Texas and the
Combined Law Enforcement Associa
tion of Texas, or CLEAT, which op
posed the measure in the 1987 session.
Other meetings were scheduled with
Texas Department of Public Safety offi
cers and with chiefs of police, Edmond
son said.
Gordon Johnson, rifle association
president, said reaction to the measure
has ranged from “cautious wariness” at
the sheriffs association to outright hostil
ity at CLEAT.
“They see guns as a religious phallic
symbol,” Ron DeLord, CLEAT presi
dent, said.
DeLord threatened to call members of
the Dade County, Fla., police associa
tion, unhappy with a similar law enacted
last year in Florida, to testify against the
bill.
“Our current laws allow you to have a
handgun in your home, in your business,
when you travel — I don’t believe you
need one at the shopping mall,” DeLord
said. “More guns being carried tends to
place more people in jeopardy.”
Edmondson said he hopes the propo
sal, still in draft form, v
disputes and, if not winat^
least escape opposition from
ful law enforcement lobby.
Currently, it is illegal inle» i;
