"Shot while trying to escape"

This afternoon whould be fine.

[Lassiter]

"Shot while trying to escape"

How about, "Repeatedly anally raped by dogs, beaten to a bloody pulp with a golf club, emasculated with a rusty spoon, flayed, drawn and quartered, and head placed on a pike at the entrance to the city while trying to escape."

I know I'd not shed a tear.
