Gunman and hostage die
(N Z.P. A.-Reuter—Copyright) MUNICH, Aug. 5. A masked gunman was shot dead and a woman hostage he was using as a human shield was fatally wounded in a bloody climax to an eight-hour drama in a suburban bank in Munich today. Hidden police sharpshooters picked off the gunman at the wheel of a fast getaway car they themselves had provided. The woman hostage he had pulled into the seat beside
him slumped, mortally wounded by shots that riddled the roof of the car.
