Was he the guy that was interviewed by Mike Wallace many years later, and said something like “If I had just been a few seconds quicker, just a second or two, I could’ve saved him. I could’ve blocked the bullet.” and started crying? Mike Wallace told him that wasn’t possible, that he couldn’t have done anything, but it didn’t make the guy feel less guilty.

Or was that someone else?

I think that might’ve been Clint Hill (on whom Clint Eastwood’s character in In the Line of Fire was partially based).

Same here, I remember in Clint’s interview he kinda beating himself up, undeservedly so.

Great story, EH, thanks.

Bumped.

Landis now has a book coming out with an interesting but, to me, implausible revelation:
