More details from Gawker

'After shooting Gifford, the gunman opened fire indiscriminately for a few seconds, firing 20-30 rounds and hitting a number of people, including a kid no older than 10 years old. Rayle hid behind a concrete pole and pretended to be dead. When the gunman apparently ran out of ammunition he attempted to flee, but a member of Gifford's staff tackled him. Rayle helped hold the gunman down while waiting for the sheriff to arrive, about 15-to-20 minutes later. The EMS came about 30 minutes later. Rayle said he was "stunned" by how long it took medical help to arrive.'

3. It's only like 5 miles to TMC from there.
Crap.

I'm wondering if my B-I-L was on duty at the ER (he is the head ER doc at TMC).

6. 20 minute response time to a shooting of a congresswoman in public? Does that make any sense?

It doesn't sound creditable.
