while appellant was burglarizing Ladd's Pharmacy in Canadian for drugs, Deputy M.L. Guthrie responded to the silent alarm that appellant had triggered. As Guthrie pulled his car up to the front of the drug store, but before he could even turn the ignition off, appellant, who was still inside the drug store, fired a blast from his shotgun. This blast went through the front windshield of Deputy Guthrie's car. Appellant then exited the pharmacy, leaned over the hood of Guthrie's car and fired another blast through the front windshield. Appellant then climbed over the front of the car which was wedged up against the front of the store, went around to the open front door on the driver's side of Guthrie's car, stuck his shotgun through the opening and shot Guthrie again at point blank range, while the deputy was pleading for help over his radio.
