Martinez threw his empty revolver onto the deck, grabbed McCoy's shotgun, ran to the prone body of Whitman, and fired a point blank shot into Whitman's upper left arm. Martinez then threw the shotgun on the deck and hurriedly left the scene repeatedly shouting, "I got him."

Officer Ramiro Martinez sounds like a complete dick.. just a wanker on a big fat hero trip. :\

I was as well. Wrong time period.

Not only were they long shots, but they were shots from a great height, which is an art unto itself. I don't know whose marksmanship is more impressive, his or Lee Oswald's head shot on a moving target.
