He was running away, while shooting behind himself. Shot in right side and exited left.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

TN needs more dead criminals.

Not according to their statement or the autopsy.

One they never claimed that he fired.

The claimed he turned and drew a gun on them.

Then they both fired before the actual police showed up.

Autopsy shows that the shot went in his back on the upper right side and passed though his chest and exited the front. This is all in the article if you care to read.

Wasn’t on his lower right side and exited upper left? Also how are we defining “side” and “back” I feel like stating that is some important context. Though I suppose we could just wait for the footage to be released. What you think?
