Is it known where - on his body - suspect #2 was shot. They keep talking about

him bleeding so much that he might die. But I was wondering if the wounds themselves could be fatal. He could have been shot in the leg and that would result in a lot of blood loss, but the wound itself would not kill him.

No idea on the nature of the wounds, could be anything from a direct hit with a rifle round to shrapnel, broken glass, etc. If he was speaking when they arrested him that's probably a good sign for his prognosis once he got to the hospital; trauma surgeons can do some mindboggling things if a patient's brought before them in good enough condition to be conscious.

was near or just below his left shoulder. Not at all sure of that. I was wondering about that myself. Been wondering why no one mentioned where he was wounded. If he bled all night and was still alive...I have to believe the wound itself couldn't have been that serious.
