OK
Now the big question is: Who was the Mag from?
The Lone Ranger or the bad guy?
I tried to determine where the magazine was dropped. I believe it was over near the entrance to the credit union, inside the handicapped parking spot, because that is the only place I could find that had singe parking lines inside of the police tape, and showed a possible marker for the mag there.
It was probably a tactical reload. Sean Quaid seems to have been well trained and tactically smart. I wonder if he is a competitive shooter. That spot lines up nicely with the location of the dropped money and the window that was hit with a bullet.
If Sean Quaid shot from close to where the magazine was dropped, and one of his bullets went through Lyndell Cherry, the geometry is correct for it to have hit the window.
If Sean shot from that location, the distance of the shot would have been about 20 yards.
Looking at the geometry again, the distance is closer to 15 yards.
Shooter will be attacked as racist for shooting the black guy and not his white partner.
LOL! yeah, i know the difference, i just can't tell from the pic in post #5... 8^)
Feel Good story of the day.
Your questions grow more difficult, Kemosabe.
Mark Twain makes a case for a tactical reload. But do we have any indication that Quaid fired several times? Or even more than once? Maybe I missed something.
Hard to imagine he would eject the mag after one shot unless he was really jittery which he does not seem to have been.
I wonder if Cherry’s gun might have been dropped and hit the ground when he tossed it to Jones. The mag might have been ejected after the toss, either by impact on the ground or by Jones when he caught it or grabbed it up.
I’d have to bet it was the morons’ magazine. Everything that could go wrong for them did.
One report said witnesses heard 5-8 shots.
Thanks. Didn’t know that.
Glad the good guys won, however it went down.
Bad luck finally caught up with them. The survivor said that they had robbed several banks.
Do stupid things long enough, and you will win a stupid prize. Much more could have gone wrong for them.
One survived.
