>> Someone not know how to spell “indeterminate”? <<

.
You are not very familiar with guns, are you!

There is no such thing as indeterminate when it comes to gunshots in close proximity.

You were missing the point. The article said, "intermediate," which, by definition, is not "close proximity." I thought it more likely the original word was "indeterminate," meaning they weren't able to determine exactly how far away from the gun Trayvon was when he got nailed. That makes more sense in the context of trying to figure out what happened than the even less certain "intermediate range," unless, of course, "intermediate range" has a fixed meaning, say, "far enough away not to get powder burns but close enough for that particular caliber and round to effect the observed degree of damage."
