The two .32 caliber gun shots hit Bambic once at the waist level, and once slightly higher up, hitting his heart.  The 84-year-old Bambic then grabbed the man who shot him in an attempt to fight back, until Bambic finally collapsed to his death on the ground.  The perpetrator, later identified by witnesses as J.C. Simon, ran across the street to a gas station where a Cadillac was waiting for him, with two other men inside.  The perpetrators were black Muslims who believed in the teachings of the Nation of Islam, and believed that they had to "destroy the enemy" and "kill devils," which they translated into meaning, kill whites.  The motives were racist in origins and a response to the racial rhetoric of the time.  This was the fourteenth in a series of 20 attacks (with 23 victims) on random whites by black Muslims who came to be known as the Zebra Killers, and specifically, the third of 5 attacks on this day.

This incident occurred just a few minutes after the murder of white woman Tana Smith a few streets away.  No indictment other than the charge of conspiracy was brought on this crime, but authorities believe that J.C. Simon and Manuel Moore were responsible for the murder of Wollin, as witness Anthony Harris described.  The perpetrators were black Muslims who believed in the teachings of the Nation of Islam, and believed that they had to "destroy the enemy" and "kill devils," which they translated into meaning, kill whites.  The motives were racist in origins and a response to the racial rhetoric of the time.  This was the thirteenth in a series of 20 attacks (with 23 victims) on random whites by black Muslims who came to be known as the Zebra Killers, and specifically, the second of 5 attacks on this day.

She responded with the same and then started up the stairs, at which point the man shot McMillian in the back two times with a .32 caliber gun; the first shot passed through her body, and the second hit her spine, paralyzing her from the waist down as she collapsed to the floor.  McMillian survived the attack, but was left paralyzed for the rest of her life.  She was the only one of the Zebra killers' five victims on this night in late January that survived.  The perpetrators, later identified as J.C. Simon and Manuel Moore, then fled to Moore's Cadillac, where Anthony Harris was waiting for them, and the three sped off.  Both Simon and Moore were accused of the assault in court.  The perpetrators were black Muslims who believed in the teachings of the Nation of Islam, and believed that they had to "destroy the enemy" and "kill devils," which they translated into meaning, kill whites.  The motives were racist in origins and a response to the racial rhetoric of the time.

Harris, witness for the prosecution during the trial, said that he was back at the car waiting for Simon and Manuel Moore to return, after he heard the gunshots. Both Simon and Moore were accused of the murders in trial. The perpetrators were black muslims who believed in the teachings of the Nation of Islam, and believed that they had to "destroy the enemy" and "kill devils," which they translated into meaning, kill whites.  The motives were racist in origins and a response to the racial rhetoric of the time.  This was the twelfth in a series of 20 attacks (with 23 victims) on random whites by black muslims who came to be known as the Zebra Killers, and specifically, the first of 5 attacks on this day.
