Was the male victim shot while in a wheelchair? Rumor?
Don’t think he was in the chair at the time Bill, but not 100% sure. That’s not been officially discussed. T

Thanks for the great reporting. I have to admit, it will be a while before I hike alone again with just my dog. I guess I’ll be hangin’ with crowds for a while.
