Tom, you ought to brush up on what the WCR said about the shooting 
sequence. They concluded that the shots were fired in 4.8 to 5.6 seconds 
if and only if the second shot missed. The came to no conclusion as to 
which of the three shots missed. The final sentence of the Conclusions 
paragraph states "... that the three shots were fired in a time period 
ranging from approximately 4.8 to IN EXCESS of 7 seconds.". Leaving out 
the words "in excess" completely changes their meaning, but I'm sure that 
was just an accident on your part and not an attempt to deceive the 
readers. As it stands, the belief that the shooting sequence was over a 
span of 8-10 seconds is completely compatible with "in excess of 7 
seconds".
