You are right...which measn that any inference by others that he may have shot himself or concocted the whole thing becomes an even harder sale.
I believe the guard's story is accurate...I was just responding to another post. I also believe it is foolish in the extreme to either rule out or right off any potential terror ties given the reported story and today's environment.
There are several reasons I am skeptic. 1) Security guards tend not to be the brightest in the box; 2) He is a security guard in Freeport, TX (I know the area & people well); 3) He ducked a shot being fired out of a truck window and it hit him in the shoulder?? (do the math on that one) and 4) He was shot while reaching for his microphone, yet after being shot & seeing the shooter drive away he drove himself the the guard shack.
It just smells fishy.
