morning at 3:00 o'clock in which Mackey was shot and killed and Knight stabbed in 
the lower part of the abdomen. Five shots were fired by Knight, four taking 
effect in the body of Mackey killing him almost instantly. Knight was stabbed to 
the hollow; Mackey breaking the blade of his knife in Knight's body. Although 
dangerously wounded it is thought that Knight will recover. Mackey was about 21
