Without reading all the comments I have to say it sounds like a setup. Shot with .40 caliber in thigh, was treated and returned to work. Any one want to bet it was a blank that went off and red dye packet burst for effect? You know, Scare the hell out of everybody about the horrors of evil guns? Just a thought.

"The kids screamed and started to cry," Farmer recounted. "My first thought was that it was part of his presentation. I thought it was a blank and he was trying to make a point about how easy it is to fire, to get the kids' attention. But then I looked at the agent's face and he looked surprised. Then there was a quick grimace on his face of sudden pain.

I thought the same thing( a setup, but without the dye ), a .40 cal. at point blank range and no mention of blood by this person, just the grimace on the agent's face. Lotsa missing details.
