Um, none of the [laughs] none of the news reports have, have reported the name of the individual.

[coughs] So Jody is 21 now, and he goes into Scheels, and he buys himself a nine-millimeter handgun.

I- if you're a mainstream news reporter, nine-millimeter handgun is the make and manufacturer and model.

And then they go out in the parking lot, and, uh, they get into their vehicle, and he takes the ammo that he just bought, uh, 'cause I'm assuming that Scheels doesn't sell preloaded handguns.

[laughs] I think we can safely assume that, that Scheels doesn't sell preloaded handguns.

So he gets into the car, loads the gun up, tells her to, "Roll camera and watch this." And, and he, uh, well, fires one off right through his thigh, right through his femoral artery.
