Dwyer said as he told his story for the first time to the Associated Press on Friday. The Dwyer, deputy chief of mission at the embassy, escorted a party headed by Rep Leo J , to the Jonestown camp and was Ryan, leading it out the afternoon of Saturday, Nov. 18, when the group was attacked at an airstrip by members of Jonestown's Peoples Temple sect. A r bullet struck Dwyer near the base of his spine, lodging against his pelvis, and doctors have since decided to leave it there. Suicide, Murder Claimed 900 A short time after the attack more than 900 cultists died in a frenzy of suicide and murder at the camp. The Ryan party, which included newsmen, had gone to Jonestown to investigate reports of abuse of sect members. On the way out, they were escorting several residents who wanted to leave the settlement. Some of the party were already aboard the two planes that were to take them back to Georgetown when all of a sudden somebody started shooting at us, recounted Dwyer, of Michigan City, Ind. The congressman ran by me and we both ran around the nosewheel of the De Havilland Otter, the larger plane. The gunfire came at first from a camp tractor-traile- r that had driven up alongside the runway. Ryan was hit, but I saw him take shelter behind the nosewheel. I was headed for the bush across the runway when I saw them firing at us from the truck parked on the other side and I knew I wouldn't make - second-in-comman- d small-calibe- it Dont Remember Feeling It hit the deck, and that must have been when they shot me.
