In a still taken from CBS television footage, a gun, center, held by Arthur Bremer is fired repeatedly in the direction of presidential hopeful Alabama Gov. George Wallace (not pictured) during a Laurel, Md., campaign rally, May 15, 1972. Wallace was paralyzed as a result of the shooting. Bremer was a 21-year-old former janitor and busboy when he shot Alabama Gov. George Wallace five times during a presidential campaign stop in 1972 in Maryland. Now 57, Bremer is preparing for life outside prison. He's scheduled to be released in mid-December 2007 and could get out even sooner.
