I went to the library this morning to get a newspaper article to answer a question I had when this post was 4 responses long, now it has 3 pages.
This is an excerpt from a hometown newspaper article from April 1984, concerning the murder of our county sheriff ...
" ...Nichols was taken to Washington Co. hospital where he was pronounced dead at 12:10 pm He had been shot three times with a .25 cal revolver (sic).
Washington Co coroner Dan Kelly Jr. has ruled that Nichols died from multiple gunshot wounds. Bullets struck Nichols in the abdomen, neck and top of the shoulder."
I attended his autopsy, a 50gr bullet was recovered from his heart - entrance between the shoulder and collar bone. Another was recovered in the lung that penetrated the side of his neck.
I would read Sigp220.45's post again and regard those who state "if I was shot with one and find out about it.." with the same intelligence of those who do a "Dragnet Flip" to close a revolvers cylinder.
