Video shows a man unloading a revolver at his lawyer, as the lawyer dodges the shots by hiding behind a tree. The shooter then calmly walks away, and is tackled by an off-duty sheriff's deputy.

Victim is in stable condition, hit in the face and neck according to FOX. Apparently the shots just grazed the lawyer, as it seemed he was able to walk away quite normally.

Yeah, got that right! When they run the tape at full speed, you get a good idea of what adrenaline can do. Hope the guy is okay.

It seemed to me that there were a few seemingly un- affected people.

Watched the video several times.
Amazing that the lawyer was able to walk away.
The perp should have used something with a bit more firepower.

The shooter should be charged with displaying poor shooting skills and with not using a large enough caliber of weapon. Perhaps even have a civil suit filed against him by any future victims of this lawyers actions while practicing law.

Leno will have fun with this one.

They say the perp had two guns, looks like 8 shots fired, lawyer was hit multiple times...is alive and in the hospital. That's the weirdest thing i've ever seen. It's amazing that the shooter missed so many times. They don't know why if he had two guns, he stopped shooting. Also, it was mentioned that he had .22 caliber pistol.
