Peter never fired a gun at any one that we know of.
he was arrested for threatening to do it with a gun that was at his brothers house in another city from where he lived. And I guess someone should finally say that the person who split the royalty rights for a lot of Peters music was the person who forwarded the message which was not given first hand and facilitated the calling of the police. He may never have been put in jail for a crime that he did not commit if it were not for a person with vested interested in peters funding stream. there a lot of " nots" in that last sentence, but I think you will get my drift.
