Lane Bonner, an FBI spokesman, said yesterday that a 9-mm bullet, which could have been fired by a pistol or a rifle, was recovered from a chair in the apartment.
The source said Blackmun had just left the room when the shot was fired. Virginia and federal law enforcement officials said they are investigating the possiblility that an antiabortion group may have been responsible for the shooting.īoth Blackmun and his wife, Dorothy, were at home at the time, but neither was injured by the single shot, which a law enforcement source said showered glass on Dorothy Blackmun as she sat in the living room of the Blackmuns' third-floor apartment.
Blackmun, who has been the target of frequent death threats since he wrote the court's controversial 1973 decision legalizing abortion, said yesterday that a bullet was fired through a window of his Arlington apartment Thursday night.
