Annie Elise

He was clearly distressed and in desperate need of help.

I hope she rots in hell.

Unfortunately, AJ didn't make it.

The medical staff did everything that they could, but her injuries were too extensive.

She passed away just a few hours after being taken to the hospital.

And even though she had only been shot once, there was a lot of internal damage.

Now, I think for a lot of people who aren't as familiar with gunshot wounds, they think that the bullet enters your body and then either stays in the area that you were hit or it goes right through you.

But AJ's injuries proved just how untrue that really can be because the bullet entered her body.

It then went right, then left, then downward.

So first it hit her rib, then it went completely through her right lung.

But it also went through her heart, her esophagus, her diaphragm, and her spleen.

So many crucial organs.

And I don't know the exact percentages when it comes to chances of survival with those kinds of wounds, but I would imagine that her chance of survival from the moment the bullet entered her body was probably extremely low.

AJ's cause of death was ruled as a gunshot wound.

The only question now was would the manner of death be premeditated homicide, or would it be homicide by means of self-defense?

Okay, tell me if this sounds familiar.

The holidays roll in, you've got a million things to do, gifts to wrap, kid events, work deadlines.

Suddenly people are coming over and meanwhile your house looks like it survived a crime scene.

That used to be me every single year.

Heck, it still is most of the time.
