A blood clot (timy bone fragment from bullet smashing bones in the knee perhaps) rushing to the lungs results in a pulmonary embolism and a person dies pretty quickly. That’s one way. There is also an artery running behind the knee toward the ankle.

I’m thinking that the artery must have been hit. How else could he just die... he would have had to bleed to death. Now... I wonder if the store owner was taught to shoot at the knee to prevent death? Wouldn’t that just be strange Karma or what?

Arteries are outbound from the heart...Pressure is greater...

Veinous flow is back to the heart and less pressure...

The girl hit an artery, and what they have said is true, you can bleed out from that just as easy as if she had shot the guy in the pelvic/groin/upper thigh area where the aorta splits into the two major thoroughfares into the legs...

As someone in an earlier thread stated that they hoped for “more” pain as they checked out...There would not be any additional pain as you bleed out, only the pain from the wound, if you keep moving it, all you’ll do is fade away as less oxygenated blood in your body passes into and through your brain to keep you conscious...

Takes about 3-4 minutes...Depending on the size and physical shape the bleeder is...
