I guess when the caliber of the bullets used is made public, that will identify who fired on who?

Top of the melon, and one in the eye and multiple shot in the back. Be interesting when the ballistics come in.

Gag order remains in effect at least another 30 days if I'm reading this right.

I haven't read all the reports but based on the few I looked at the reporter is in error. For example, Rhynes was shot in the neck and abdomen, not with two head shots.
Looks like Witherspoon at the Trib got that one right:

Richard Vincent Kirschner, Jr., 47, died of gunshots to the left buttock,right thigh and knee.

How do you die from this? Must not have received treatment for hours.

Artery in the thigh was probably severed.

Femoral artery if I had to guess.

Right thigh = major artery. If that was clipped, exsanguination happens in a couple of minutes.

If you click the name of the person you can see full details...

Lots of bullet wounds identified as 1/4"...

Cops don't carry .25 cal's...

Why I always laugh when I read comments (not usually on here) abouting needing to teach folks to shoot for the legs.

That's supposedly a major cause of death of bullfighters -- the bull's horns slice the artery and the bullfighter bleeds out very quickly.

I suspect it's probably not as big a problem with modern medicine as it used to be.

Charges were filed within hours or days. But, apparently, no cases have gone before the grand jury for indictment.

Gunshot injuries to the brachial (arm/biceps) or femoral (thigh) arteries can kill pretty quickly.

This is a little off the current dialogue but I thought some may find it interesting. I haven't followed this story much, but had a chance to chat with a good friend mine that is a U.S. attorney in TX the other night.

He said this is one of the most botched cases he has ever seen and that it just gets worse the more you find out. The Waco folks tried to get the Feds to get involved and after a cursory look, they not only said no, but F no.

He bled out. EMS did not go in and start Triaging, until scene was determined safe. Agreed it was probably severed femoral artery.

Over 150 days since the shooting.

The second grand jury has been empaneled.

Not a single person of the ~180 arrestees has been charged with a crime.

Meanwhile, a Baylor football player violently raped another student athlete and he wasn't even arrested until after he was convicted in August.

All the vehicle forfeiture proceedings started in June. 17 motorcycles, eight pickup trucks and two SUVs. Not sure if they auctioned them off or not.

I cannot wait to see the amount of lawsuits that come out of this cluster fook. Its almost like they are so far into it now that they can't turn around, even though they know what they are doing is wrong. Illegal as hell.
