if he was on an overpass and his friend was thrown over, then a shotgun would have very little effect on the friend whether he shot at him or not. shotguns don't have that long of a range in regards to doing much damage to people... unless he was shooting slugs.

That happened right outside my office window at the time. Alm's car was on an exit ramp, headed downhill...from 610 onto 59 North. His buddy went over the guardrail, but didn't fall very far.

Not to be crude or disrespectful, but I had never heard of this...was it like...bitten off?

Yes, it was bitten off. I heard it from too many sources in the weeks following for it to be urban legend, including police, medics, and an Oiler.

It's true. I know one of the medics that arrived on the scene... she told me what they found. His "buddy" was apparently standing up in the car thru the sunroof while Alm was performing when they hit the guardrail. Could have it backwards, one of them was standing thru the sunroof of the car I think, and that's where he was thrown from,

Lefty,

None of that makes sense. If Alm was standing through the sun roof, then he would have been the one thrown from the car and apparently his buddy was the one thrown - and Alm was obviously receiving/amputated so I don't see how one of them could have been standing up in the sunroof.

I'm telling you this is what I remember my friend telling me the next day. She was at the scene and said the evidence showed Alm's buddy was standing in the sunroof when they took the ramp exit too fast, hit he guardrail, buddy was ejected from the car. Alm pulled over and yelled down to his friend. When is friend didn't answer, Alm shot himself. Sad.
