I told Tex, you need to let the professionals handle your case and stop trying to influence Petal and stop trying to reach out to people you know to fix this. Your life is irrevocably changed. Diane McGyver is dead. There will be a price for that. There will be consequences for that. And you need to start reconciling and moving forward that way.

So as it was explained to me, and there are some things that got a little bit of reporting at the time, but there were that weekend that the shooting and Diane's death occurred.

On Friday and Saturday night, three Black Lives Matters protests in the city of Atlanta, one resulting in the closure early that evening of Lenox Square, which was across the street from the condominium high-rise that Diane and Tex lived in, which they saw on television while they were out at the farm. The second was on I-85 and briefly shut down the interstate.

And the final was outside the Atlanta then detention center, now closed, that none of these instances resulted in violence. And so all of that, it sort of played out on television while they were at the farm. So they are driving back from Conyers in a golf game late in the afternoon. Danny Joe Carter is driving the vehicle.

They stop for dinner at a Longhorn Steaks in Conyers, which is about halfway between Putnam County, where they were coming from, and downtown Atlanta, where they were heading into. As they were approaching the downtown connector on I-20, traffic just stopped, as it is wont to do on a Sunday night.

But according to texts, there were people that were either homeless or looked like they were protesters milling at the intersection, and he became concerned. So he said to Diane, honey, can you get me the head that kept a .38 snub nose, no hammer? wrapped in a Publix grocery bag in the console of that car. And he asked for it. Diane gave it to him. And he said he was concerned.

It's a white kind of conspicuous vehicle, two white women driving it through downtown that late at night. And he wanted to be prepared if they tried to carjack or get into the car.

So in his discussion with me and in my relaying it to the two reporters that I later did on-the-record interviews for as spokesperson for Tex and the MacGyver family, he wasn't sure if they were Black Lives Matter protesters who had been in Atlanta that weekend, that Friday, that Saturday night, that Sunday, near the jail, which is where we were, or they were homeless people. He felt threatened.

And as a result of feeling threatened, he reached for the gun. The spiral of Tex's mistakes continued. It became that kind of a moment. So this was probably within the first week of the shooting that the story went from prominent Atlantic couple shot when critically injured to white Republican lawyer, Tex McGyver, advisor to many in the Republican circles.

He's fearful of Black Lives Matter protesters, draws gun, and accidentally kills his wife. And it blew up everywhere. And it was on the front page of the Yumerishin Bun in Tokyo. It was in Parade Magazine. It was on the networks. And to tell you how wacky it got in a period of 48 hours, my name is Charles William Crane, my full name, and I go by Bill Crane.
