I think if he had fired the shot into the car, he'd have been arrested and most all of his subsequent mountain career would have never happened.

But the story presented at the museum says the kids drove to the police station where they showed the bullet hole to the police chief. And it was this version that Michael was referencing for the article, so the journalism was accurate, even if the details of the actual events are unknowable.
Yes, this sounds like MLC SC. One source journalism. I wouldn't call it accurate if somewhat a complete fabrication to keep the thugs out of jail. Clyde used a different term, but I guess that is conveniently ignored. He put it on some woman to remove him from his position at that school.
