After you're shot in the Oregon, the doctor usually has to remove it and connect your Washington directly to your California.

There were two big developments Monday in the case of a motorist who was shot and killed along Greenwell Springs Road Friday after a fight with a police officer. Investigators say an autopsy shows the deadly bullet was fired by a bystander, not the officer. Police also announced that no charges would be filed in the case, either against the police officer involved or the bystander who fired the fatal shot into the head of George Temple.
East Baton Rouge Sheriff's spokesman Greg Phares says Officer Brian Harrision was escorting a funeral procession Friday when he pulled Temple over and wrote him a ticket for breaking into the procession. According to Phares, that's when Temple attacked Harrison. Police say Perry Stevens was walking outside of the Auto Zone on Greenwell Springs Road when he heard Harrison yelling for help. Harrison was reportedly on his back with Temple on top of him. That's when Stevens went to his car and grabbed his .45 caliber pistol.
According to Col. Greg Phares, "[Mr. Stevens] orders Mr. Temple to stop and get off the officer. The verbal commands are ignored and Mr. Stevens fires four shots, all of which struck Mr. Temple."
Perry Stevens fired four shots into Temple's torso. Officer Harrison had already fired one shot into Temple's abdomen. With Temple still struggling with the officer, Perry continued to advance toward the scuffle.
"He again orders Mr. Temple to stop what he was doing and get off the officer. Those commands are ignored and he fires a fifth shot and that hits his head. The incident is over with, and as you know, Mr. Temple is dead."
Police are calling the shooting death justified. Perry Stevens has a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Col. Phares would not give out any more details relating to the shooting. Both Phares and Baton Rouge Police Chief Jeff LeDuff stopped short of crediting Stevens with saving the officer's life. LeDuff says the entire incident is unfortunate.
"I spoke with his father at the scene briefly," said LeDuff. "I think this is a tragic situation all around."
9 News is told George Temple has a criminal record, and Officer Harrison was involved in a shooting while employed as a prison guard in East Baton Rouge Parish, where he was suspended for three days back in 1995.
Is the police department going to reimburse this guy for the cost of 5 bullets?
So what if the officer was involved in a prior shooting? What's that got to do with anything?
PCP in perp and ball ammo used to try and stop him.
PCP, probably.
I'd be willing to hazard a guess that PCP was involved.
Plus one in the abdomen from the police officer, probably a .40. If you don't hit something important the guy is going to keep on going until he bleeds out,
Even if you shoot him with a .45.
i don't know...oregon's a pretty big target....;)

Still, a difficult shot from Baton Rouge...
LOL!
Gotta get me a semi-auto.
In the head? Was it in the..temple?
The popular theory is that the larger the bullet, the greater the chance of hitting something vital or a nerve/bone but as we see, there's more to it and theory and reality don't always reconcile.
Or it's posible he used a glock instead of a 1911.
OK MY BAD organ. LOL My son lives in Oregon
I would expect a .45 to hurt just about anywhere you placed it.
Armed citizen assists officer alert.
The fifth shot was placed perfectly. It hit the head. End of game. PCP maybe.
Is the .45 GAP cartridge diferent from the .45CAP?
