"Walt waited a moment, then dashed down the long stretch of grass. Dad dropped to one knee, followed Mr. Disney, and fired. Mr. Disney tumbled to the ground clutching his upper thigh. His momentum carried him into the flower beds. Two Beverly Hills policemen leaped on Dad and wrestled the weapon from his hand."

—Excerpt from the short story "Vacation '58" by John Hughes, which originally appeared in National Lampoon magazine, and was later adapted for the big screen.
It has interesting resonances with Ellroy's original L.A. Confidential plot (which was thoroughly (and in my view wisely) excised from the film).
