My thought exactly. That’s the fastest autopsy I’ve ever heard of. Why the rush? The guy was dead.
But, again, God can turn that which is meant for evil (to slam this lady who had claimed to “take the shooter down”)....trying to make her out to be a glory hogging liar....into good for those He has called. It will be better for her if she did not fire the “killer” shot. In many ways.
But as others have said - SHE STOPPED THE CARNAGE....thank God, and Praise His name forever!
Maybe one of the reasons you do an autopsy right away (and ME's do lots of them, so it isn't hard to do fairly fast-- we're talking close to 24 hours from the death) is that a separate bunch of posters don't go ballistic on "what are they hiding??"
Seriously -- I would think it's in everyone's interest to sort things out as soon as possible, and an autopsy is an obvious first step. Sometimes an autopsy is just an autopsy.
And, as several posters have already said, it doesn't change the basic story line at all. He had come to kill; without force, he keeps killing. She applied the force to stop him. Whether he administered his own coup de grace or not is pretty minor.
