Craig Chipman, a sophomore at McCallum High School, was with four friends wading in Bull Creek along Lakewood Drive, west of Ranch Road 2222, when he was killed.

Chipman's four companions told officers they were wading in the creek about 2:45 PM Friday when three young men appeared across the creek bed and told them to leave. Words were exchanged and one of the three reportedly fired a rifle.

Craig was struck in the chest. The three men escaped into the brush along the creek.

He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ralph E. Chipman of 7008 Daugherty St. Funeral services were held at Weed-Corley Funeral Home. Burial was in Capital Memorial Park.
