Here is another about a different shooting. https://twitter.com/silver_shots/status/1273622430360252416?s=19
I want to conclude with the fact that I have a lot of respect for @PaulSzoldra and would count myself as a fan of him and his reporting. This is not an attempted "dunk". (As if I could ever dunk on someone as widely respected as him.)
