On 23 August 1971, when Walker was a constable, he was one of several officers who pursued a gang of five armed robbers who had attacked a jeweller's shop in Blackpool. When the gang split up, Walker and his colleague and superintendent Gerry Richardson chased one of the raiders down a dead-end alleyway. 'Fat' Fred Sewell shot Walker in the groin then Richardson twice in the stomach. Richardson died of his injuries later that day, and was also later awarded the George Cross, posthumously. The award citations were published in the London Gazette on 13 November 1972.[1] All five robbers were jailed, including Sewell who served thirty years for wounding Walker and for murdering Richardson; he was released in 2001 when aged 68. Sewell was reported to have amassed a wealth of around £1 million from property dealings while in prison.[2] Walker was discharged from the police force on medical grounds in 1982.[3] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.stephen-stratford.co.uk/police_gc.htm|title=Police GC Awards|publisher=|accessdate=12 December 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170117135216/http://stephen-stratford.co.uk/police_gc.htm|archive-date=2017-01-17|dead-url=yes|df=}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Walker, Carl}}{{UK-crime-bio-stub}}2. ^{{cite journal|url=https://www.questia.com/read/1G1-65262761|title=TOP COP KILLER MAKES MILLION INSIDE PRISON; Storm as Murderer Goes Free to Live in Luxury on the Cash from Deals Behind Bars|date=17 September 2000|publisher=|accessdate=12 December 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/news/daily-feature/bravest_of_the_brave_1_2996380|title=Bravest of the brave|publisher=|accessdate=12 December 2016}} 5 : British recipients of the George Cross|British police officers|British shooting survivors|1934 births|Living people |
