The day of the shooting, they interviewed someone in the crowd. His testimony was reasonable, he seemed reasonable. Then he said it absolutely sounded like a .22. I did a double take. Clearly he'd never shot weapons. A .22? It makes a small 'crack' sound. The audio clearly indicated a high power rifle.
My stepfather always hunted with a 30-06. I would badger him year after year, "why so much gun for a deer, you risk damaging so much meat?" He always said, "I don't want any chance of them running away.
Every deer he killed had an exit wound the size of a softball.
Charlie never had a chance.
