Died from a knee injury ? Maybe he just realised he would never get a basketball contract, and just died from heartbreak ?

> Died from a knee injury ?

Probably a severed femoral artery. Only takes a few minutes to bleed out.

Too bad they didn’t apply a tourniquet. He might have survived and only lost the lower leg.

I suspect that this had something to do with it:

the man was then tackled outside the front door by a store employee

They should have "tackled" the Muslim on the Amarillo plane like this one was "tackled".

Maybe she missed his knee, and hit a little higher?

probably hit the femoral artery in the leg....if no tourniquet was applied soon after the shot, he would have bled to death....

thankfully no one applied the requisite tourniquet

You do realize that arteries would have to pass through the knee, right?

Which is why any talk about "shooting to wound" is the blather of idiots.

Exsanguination. Thank God, no one thought to apply a tourniquet.

she drew a gun and aimed for the would-be robber’s knee,

I'm guessing it was a high caliber weapon to make a knee shot fatal. Anyway, I applaud the mama for great gun control.

Could be a huge loss of blood as the femeral artery runs down to the knee.

Grand Pa said she was taught to aim for the knee, maybe she's a lousy shot and put 2 in his chest.
