Too late for remorse

Associated Press · June 19, 1956

Seventeen-year-old Richard Greenwald, city college freshman held in the fatal shooting of his aunt, displayed offered hands in a prayerful attitude as he is booked on homicide charges at a Bronx police station. The youth, defying police investigating a report that he had threatened to kill his girl friend, fired a .22 caliber rifle bullet through the locked door of his bedroom and fatally wounded his aunt Isabel Polensky, who was pleading with him to surrender.
