    Can a shot come from 500 feet?

      It would be a lucky shot if it were a handgun.

            And if memory serves, he hit Tutt dead center in the heart. A shot that would make a Marine proud!

              And he's been released from the hospital with the bullet still in his head! Apparently he was shot just below the eye and the bullet is lodged behind his ear.

                St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said in a press conference that they think that the shot was fired from around 350' away and was likely from a handgun. That is some skilled shooting.

                Considering that one officer was shot in the face and has been released from the hospital with the bullet still lodged behind his ear makes me think that a small caliber weapon was used like a .22. If so that sort of ammunition can be fired from both a handgun and rifle.

                  I guess they can't get the bullet out without causing damage.

                    So, you agree that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson should just shut the heck up?
                    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                      Or that it isn't endangering him and that they want any swelling to go down before attempting a removal
