A man armed with an assault-style rifle opened fire on a helicopter landing
in a residential neighborhood, thinking the chopper was carrying terrorists,
police said.
John Chwaszczewski, a construction worker, became alarmed when he saw the
chopper swoop down over his garage, about a block from Peters' home.
"Maybe I overreacted, but I did feel this was terrorism at its utmost,"
Chwaszczewski said.
Chwaszczewski told police the shooting was "a natural reaction," after having
watched the events of Sept. 11.
