Detective Black came to the hospital to pick up the bullet and deliver it to the crime lab. He spoke with the surgeon and got the details on the entry point of the bullet and where it was found. Next, he dropped off the bullet at the ballistics lab. “I want a rush to see if it matches the gun we seized at the scene. And did you get the other bullet?” “Yessir, we’ll rush on that and no we didn’t find the other bullet yet, but my lab folks are still out there lookin”, said the lab tech. The detective then went and spoke to Wil McGentry who was one of the witnesses to find out what happened. “Well Detective, Mr. Jenkins was walking into the apartment to pick up his lady friend, when I heard a gunshot from my right, so you know I dove to the ground and then I heard another gunshot and he was down. Not very courageous of me, huh?” “Don’t kick yourself to hard son, I’m pretty sure my first reaction would have been the same. Live first, then see what you can do and this time there was nothing to do because he was dead after the second shot was fired.”

After talking to Wil, the Detective then went to interview Sally before he interviewed the suspect in custody. “Did you see anything ma’am”, the detective asked? “No sir, I was on the other side of the house getting finished up because, as usual, I was running late. I just heard two shots and called 911 looked out and then run out the house and there he was on the ground and blood all over the place. It was a horrible sight to see. The shots were back to back, like bam and then two ticks and bam again. I was frightened.”

After Detective Black got back to the police station and went back to the crime lab. “We found the other bullet, it burrowed into the ground, but it matches the other gun, and the bullet pulled from the victim matches the gun of the man in holding”, the lab director told the detective. “Thanks”, and with that information, Black turned to go interview the suspect.
