[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1548752, member: 18945"] I did not take any photos, tho I know the sheriff deputy did. (Pretty sure my son snuck one in from about 7' behind where we were trying to look after him, but I didn't ask to look at it..I've seen plenty of bullet holes already) Following JMJ Farms' lead....... [i] Twas the night before Christmas at Greybeard’s house, where his wife and his sister and his son and son's spouse, had just sat down to a gumbo son fixed with roux and great care, Over rice it steamed and smelled good in the air. Our bowls were filled and we started right in when the dog outside began a loud din. we heard heavy footsteps on the porch steps near and daughter in law said "Santa Claus is here!" When a knock on the door came loud as thunder and then it flew open and filled us with wonder. And what should appear, to our shocking surprise, but Bobby from David's, with glazed over eyes. From a white shirt front a red glob appeared from a hole in his gut, looked like he'd been speared. He said in a moment that he had been shot, other than that, he said not a lot. I sprang up from my chair to go to the door but the rest just kept eating, Gumbo and more. "Bill shot me" he uttered as we sat him right down at the yuletide table we'd just gathered 'round. 911 was called in less than a flash, as we lifted his shirt like a red and white sash. One hole in the belly and the same in the back, from the gun's chamber and no more from the stack where a bullet had entered and gone on out as he grimaced and moaned but he never did shout. "Oh it hurts!" is all he would say as we waited for help that was soon on it's way. My son's wife was standing in shock, and she sent my son to fetch,load and lock my own 20 ga from it's place by the bed and wondered who was next thru the door, with some dread. Once sister and Felicia flagged them down coming from Coldsprings the next nearest town, The sheriff arrived and then DPS. 20 minutes had passed since the message I'd left. We'd moved him out front and he lay on a bench and bled on a blanket and would occasionally wince. Half hour had passed as the medics arrived and they took over his care & shined a light in his eyes. Took his blood pressure and cleaned both wounds then loaded him up & away they all zoomed. The Sheriff and trooper were the last to leave as they went up front to see what was to see. Before they left, off into the night they said Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night![/i] Bobby is doing pretty good from what the hospital would tell me. Not allowed visitors tho. The others involved seem to be continuing with their lives as well as can be expected. We had really stormy weather last nite, all nite long. I drove over to where the horses are on my 4 wheeler and found the storage shed with one more bad bale of hay in it; wide open....and 2 horses in there munching away. I ran them out, temporarily fastened the hasp with a screwdriver and then went home and got a padlock for it. Anyone wants in it, they can come get the key. If the river continues to rise, most of that place will be covered with water by morning. [/QUOTE]
