A British astrophysicist killed in the US told his terrified girlfriend a volley of gunfire was just people “messing around” – moments before a bullet killed him.
Homicide detectives in Atlanta, Georgia, say the shot was fired up to 300ft away to where Dr Matthew Willson was hit in the head.
The bullet had travelled through the exterior wall of a block of flats before striking the Brit, 31, as he was in bed with his girlfriend, Katherine Shepard.
