During the incidents, bus windows and car windows were shattered, and one person, a policeman was struck in the back by what turned out not to be a bullet, but a marble, according to Mysterious Universe.

There was even a State Senator (Albert S. Woodruff) who was a victim of one of the attacks, although he was uninjured.
