Actually, it is.
Mays was found wounded and taken to a hospital for treatment. In a hospital interview two days after the shooting, Mays told detectives he started shooting because the others said “I’m going to get you,” the statement says.
“Stupid, man. Just pulled a gun out and started shooting,” Mays allegedly said, according to the probable cause statement. “I shouldn’t have done that. Just being stupid.”
A Glock 9mm handgun found on the ground near Mays contained six rounds in a 15-round capacity magazine, according to the documents. The firearm had been stolen in Kansas City, Missouri, the documents state.

Quote:3) Seeming to imply that the gun that fired the fatal shot was probably stolen also. (At least it read that way: "I'm sure...") Also not in the article.
Nope, that was where I made the mistake, not the assumption. The Taurus, which was not identified as stolen, fired the fatal shot. The Taurus fired by Miller.
Miller, who had a gunshot wound, was tackled and disarmed by a witness who saw him carrying a handgun, according to the statement. In a hospital interview two days after the shooting, he said he was armed with a Taurus G3 9mm handgun and said he returned fire after he saw someone shooting at him, according to the statement.
A .38-caliber class bullet was recovered during an autopsy of Lopez-Galvan, and a ballistic comparison of the bullet determined it was fired from the Taurus weapon, according to the statement.

Oh my, this didn't age well for you. You actually had me making a mistake. Then in your rush to get me online you made numerous mistakes yourself. Mistakes, not assumptions. Thank you for not only making my error now seem trivial, but giving me a good laugh in the process.
Goodnight, sweet prince.
