I know personally. I watched a gun battle in Oklahoma a couple of decades ago. Saw the whole thing, start to finish. By the time we found one of the guys on the ground in the parking lot, with at least a couple of shots in him, the police still hadn’t arrived. He was still alive at that time. I don’t know whether he made it or not (he was one of the shooters - it was like a gang thing - my guess was it was druggies shooting it out).
