Description: In 1984, a shooting on a New York City subway thrust Bernie Goetz into the center of the national spotlight. After opening fire on four Black teenagers he said were trying to rob him, Goetz was hailed by some as a vigilante hero and condemned by others as a symbol of racial violence. Geoff Bennett spoke with Eliot Williams, who revisits the shooting in his new book, "Five Bullets." PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders. Hosted on Acast.
