Well...I don't know. Why would you shoot someone who wasn't running or fighting that you were trying to kill?

[It's probably not good for a pair of twelve year olds to be thinking in "if you were going to kill someone" terms...

Rubbing her forehead a little, Mabel sits down fully at this point, stretching her legs out and thinking.]

Think, think, think.......think, think, think..............If the person with the gun was too scared, why didn't the person who hit him shoot him instead? He obviously wasn't too scared...

But maybe they did run out of bullets...but why? If they didn't have enough bullets, why shoot him in the leg in the first place?
