Ken McElroy apparently had the car turned on, still had it in park.
He pulled out a cigarette, and I saw that he either had just lit it or was about to light it when somebody shot him in the head with a high-powered hunting rifle and then followed that up with a shot to the neck with Trina right next to him, who was suddenly covered in his blood.
Yeah, through the back windshield of the pickup truck.
I imagine, instantly killed him with that first shot.
His foot slams on the gas and this thing is revving at like full bore, this old truck, starts smoking and eventually blows the engine and it just goes silent.
Trina apparently urinated herself, was initially told to stay in the car, or she would be killed too, and then gets hustled out of this truck into a nearby bank, and a bunch of more shooting happens until the shooting stops.
It's about 20 seconds worth of shooting.
People go up, peek in this truck.
McElroy is hunched over.
No one helps the guy at all.
And in the end, they figure out he was hit by two different bullet types.
So two different guns had actually made contact with his body, two different bullets.
So, you know, in the documentary, again, there were people that were like, you know, five or six people shot him, three or four people shot him.
Like everyone sort of got their own story.
But as far as the, you know, autopsy goes, there were two different calibers of bullet.
Yeah, because here's the twist to this whole story.
We don't know, at the very least, the law can't say who killed Kim McElroy.
There were between 30 to 60 people who were standing right there when he was killed from several feet away, and no one saw a thing.
The town circled the wagons and clammed up to this day.
Yeah, the town fully cleared out right after that.
