Strongly suggests Tim was killed outside. And the trail of blood - described somewhat incorrectly as a stream (in later testimony they explain that what htey mean by stream is a set of dots and spots of blood, indicating Tim was bleeding as he went from his truck to the front door) - fits a gunman outside, coming maybe from a white car, not a gunman inside the house, calling Tim over to him.

Also, the father's body on the landing - 2 casings at the top and more at the middle landing means the gunman had to have stepped over the body. Hard to do with 8 year old short legs.




Ooooh - I see - unspent shells. Yeah, if we want to believe this was an 8 year old kid, he grabbed a bunch of shells, reloaded 10 times, and never dropped a shell and left it there. Had no extras, without putting them neatly in the box. This doesn't sound like a kid, sociopath, abused, anything - none of that changes an 8 year old's coordination and concentration level to something this adult.

Yes, U meant unfired shells. The Sgt. also was asked about the box of ammunition that was found near the entrance inside the house. He said the box was closed and he didn't know how many, if any, shells were missing from the box. If this was the ammunition used. the child would have had to load ten times in, prob never dropping a shell, close the box, and as you say, he didn't have any shells in his pockets, to my knowledge. His room doesn't look like he is a neat kid, and he says as much. This whole story is confusing.
