As others have said, this does not sound random. I assume there's a whole lot more to this story.

Maybe I look at this differently, because I live in a very rural area. I can tell you right now , if I was seriously hurt, 911 wouldn't be my 1st call, it would take them too long to get to me. At least 30 minutes, and then another 30, to get me to the hospital. I would call them last.

Luckily in my area that's not a big concern for me but it is in my rig if I decide I want to.


Times are changing fast my friend. I treat carrying like American Express. Better to have and not need, than to need and not have.

So, you would have put your son in your car, and gotten him straight to the ER. Not left him to go call 911, right?

As I've already said, "The guy's Dad probably isn't strong enough to get his son in a vehicle. That's not easy to do alone. He needed help to do that, and he probably also wanted to get something to slow down the bleeding before he moved him. I think the son called 911 right after he called his Dad, and was still on the phone with them. If I am laying some place bleeding out, that's what I would do. Call for quick help 1st, then call 911.

Not to mention the Dad may have been in shock. We all say what we think we’d do, but I can’t imagine driving up on that situation.

That is really strange indeed. No way I’m leaving my son. I am loading him into vehicle and heading to hospital. What in the hell? Oh hey 17 year old girl, why don’t you go with me to the murder scene. Store owner, yeah great idea. You go ahead sweetheart I will take care of things here.

Oh man, my son passed while running to the store. Very skeptical about the whole thing.

Could be like the movie and real story “At Close Range “ type scenario. Strange

No it's not.Could he move him? Should he move him? EMS is on the way, your going to move him to a different location?

We do not have enough information.

Sounds like a thrill kill to me, but could but other things too. There was a kill thrill in a small village 20 minutes from my house where a 22-year-old killed two people so he could feel what it is like to murder someone.

'probably not strong enough'?

How is that 'probable'?

You never heard of adrenaline?

In these situations, I always get a minor female to help me out.

Fairly certain dad knows way more about what happened than has been released.

Yeah, but I've heard of old men with bad backs, a whole lot more. That adrenaline stuff, there's a lot of it in movies, but it's in short supply with old people. I'm gonna say this again, "lifting a grown man aint easy", and if he's hurt bad enough, it might kill him.
One more thing: when somebody is covered with blood, it's like they have oil poured on them. Sweat and mud mixed in, it's a slick mess, and if you are going to break down and cry, like you probably would, if it's your Son, it's probably better if they don't see you.

In that situation, you better take anybody you can get, because it aint no time to be going over resumes.

Of course he does. The police don't release all information to the public. They hold important info back, that way they can use what they know, to distinguish between real and false leads. The old man has been told, to keep certain info to himself for now.

Not at all what I was implying Sherlock.

Dad was involved in some sort of manner or knows who was.
