Come on, guys. Look at the videos. That attacker did NOT “get his arm shot off” or “his upper arm blown off.” It was just a large-cavity soft tissue wound— the part of the skin and muscle, mostly biceps, just above the inner crook of the arm (front part of elbow joint area), that is, the distal biceps area just proximal to the antecubital fossa. There appeared to be no fracture at all of the arm bone (humerous) or elbow joint at all—the entire right upper extremity had normal appearing structural integrity (no weird angles, no floppiness, no abnormal bending, no exposed bone), and he was still gripping and had control of his handgun. That’s just a very typical soft tissue wound from a high velocity round at an angle in and almost immediately out of soft tissue only. There still could be a fracture of the humerus, but if so, it was salvageable.

GRAPHIC: A friend of the man who rushed at the #Kenosha teen with a pistol and was shot in the arm has posted an update about his status. Doctors were able to save Gaige Grosskreutz’s right arm. The friend says Gaige regrets not being able to kill the teen. https://t.co/2gJmnnroTF
The news is reporting that the surgery required the removal of his bicep muscle. There were no reports of a fracture, or amputation. There is another picture of him holding the gun down, grimacing in pain, with his left finger trying to stop the bleeding in his forearm. Possible entry point ... was his arm extended with pistol, the bullet enter his forearm, traveled up through the bicep and exited?
You rightly described him as the attacker. There is at least one news report describing Kyle as the attacker.
I’m sorry but I couldn’t look that closely.
You must have one hell of a stomach for these things.
(Or maybe a doctor?)
Believe it or not .. I saw worse in nam but that was back when I hadn’t turned into a weeny yet. 8)
