its pretty hard to ride a bike with one hand, feet moving, and with the other hand draw and shoot a pistol. that makes me wonder what really happened.
Did you miss the part about using his bike to try to fend off the mentally unbalanced dog? Usually you dismount to use your bike as a barrier.
Worse yet, a shotgun!
I didn’t see type of weapon specifically listed but article says they are trying to determine birdshot or buckshot!
He stopped riding. If you stop riding, most dogs become bored and leave (nothing to chase).
This one didn’t.
