Did they ever find the guy with the rifle, if there actually was one? I know about the game, but I don't remember ever hearing if they caught anyone.

My uncle also served in the war as a pilot.
Tom went to Mission HS...my uncle to Mercedes
They knew each other and hung out a bit. After the war my uncle “Coach” played ball with Tom at Texas and they became buds. Coach went on to a very successful HS coaching career and as a principal but stayed in the valley mostly
I was fortunate to have met Tom in the mid 70s...a truly gracious man
