Work Life: Homicide detective

Homicide Detective Bill Xanten on the job.

On this week's "A Day in the Work Life," our regular look at how folks trade time for money, we go on the beat in our nation's capital with homicide detective Bill Xanten.

Homicide Detective Bill Xanten on the job. Though it can be fulfilling, it can also be harrowing -- he's been shot at, at close range. "Fortunately [the guy] was a bad marksman," Bill recalls. "And we did manage to arrest him and charge him with the murder he'd just committed." (Judith Ritter)
