    The first rule when shooting at someone to aim for center mass. They’re less likely to escape.

    The second rule when shooting at someone is to keep shooting until either they are no longer a threat or you’re out of ammo. The third rule is always have extra ammo.

    And you know that perp is going to get caught. If he tries to treat that gunshot wound himself, he runs the risk of infection. And in the delirium caused by the fever, he’ll run to a doctor. Then he’s under arrest.

    The gun was probably knocked awry by the perp. By the way, no race mentioned? Hmmm

    The weapon, pistol or knife is allways protected by the off hand to prevent the perp from aquiring it.

    BUT gosh I love a story with a good ending
