Maybe Justin Moon might invite him up for a little 100 yard shoot competition.

I think that after reviewing the wound they decided that it was "self inflicted" by the deceased. Not a 312 ft lucky shot.

A Sonoma County Sheriff once made an over 300ft shot from a .357 revolver on a running subject back in the 80's.

Amazing shot.

Nope - forensics determined it was the officer's service pistol that fired the shot.
