Could this case get any more bizarre! Wow, just wow!
I can smell it from here.They sure as hell didn’t make that mistake with Maggie and Paul.
This stinks.
From the article:
Griffin said the shots were fired from a truck that had passed Murdaugh on the road and circled back as he was working on his vehicle.
Alex Murdaugh called his brother, Randy, to report shooting around 2:15 p.m., Griffith said. Alex Murdaugh was airlifted to the Medical University of South Carolina hospital, where he is being treated.
Randy Murdaugh has not been able to enter the hospital due to COVID-19 restrictions, Griffith said, but Alex Murdaugh has been able to communicate with him by phone, “which is obviously an encouraging sign.”
So did he call his brother and not 911?
Never, I'm sad to say. These people are masters at hiding their crimes.This is just such a bizarre case. Do you think we’ll ever know the truth?!
I'm thinking the writing is on the wall and AM and RM are conjuring up reasonable doubt for an upcoming charge and a messy trial to follow. All jmoYeah. he called his brother when he found his wife and son dead too. Then LE allowed his brother on the scene as per pictures of LE walking at the crime scene with RM. SMH

The latest news report above says he called 911 himself. It's apparently not a life threatening wound.
He saw the men who shot him - 2 men, police found at least 10 casings at the scene.
Must have been a real lousy shot. Sorry old friend, this stinks to high Heaven.Two men came up to him and shot him. Reporter sees at least 10 shell casings.
Apparently he was conscious and called his brother. Guns are easy to dispose of in a rural area like that. Clorox wipes and alcohol wipes are fairly cheap, both of which can be used to clean gun residue off skin. And the article makes no mention of whether the gun was found or not.
Just sayin'.

Ten shell casings and they only grazed him? I’d say pretty bad shots or not serious about killing him. JMO
You may be right, but I don’t see how he shoots himself then disposes of that stuff (well enough that LE doesn’t find it) and gets back to the scene of the shooting without leaving a trace of blood (or other evidence) also without anyone driving by in that timeframe.
Crooked as a snake is the saying around here.Something is as crooked as a dog’s hind leg…
From the looks of that location if he had a decent arm on him he could have thrown that gun so far in the woods a bloodhound couldn't find it.That might be a church. Regardless not as remote a location as I was picturing.
am i assuming or do i understand the articles correctly that AM didn't actually call 911 but was on the phone with his brother?
Exactly.Ten shell casings and they only grazed him? I’d say pretty bad shots or not serious about killing him. JMO
