A 72 hour mental health hold gets notated on your drivers license? I didn't know that and I am in the medical field.

@Joey: I'll edit. Thanks

@Angela: We are a big state - lots of open land with tightly clustered towns & cities. And we tend to be friendly and a lot more outgoing than other states where everyone is piled one on top of the other. :)

Richelle Hill "as the flash went off, i felt debris coming toward us" Again thought fireworks or prank

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:42:05 PM
No, mental health issues are not documented on DLs. Only medical infirmities that would compromise ability to drive, i.e., seizures.

by DocJ 5/21/2015 5:42:07 PM
@Phil, do you have that 400 vs injured logged for the legal beagle? attempted murder?

by NT8 5/21/2015 5:42:13 PM
@NT8: I'll see if he can talk about that

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:42:24 PM
Thank you DocJ

by Stephany 5/21/2015 5:42:45 PM
Richelle Hill says she heard the pumping sound (chick-chick) and saw shotgun pumping motion

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:42:45 PM
Thanks Phil!

by NT8 5/21/2015 5:42:58 PM
Richelle Hill said it was a larger weapon

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:42:59 PM
@AJS: Great idea about a short intro. Court isn't in session tomorrow though, or is it? So can't do Friday intros. I thought they said the jury would have a 4 day weekend.

Richelle Hill "once we heard the shots, there was a woman standing right next to me and I heard her say 'I've been hit'"

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:43:28 PM
What is so sad that everyone thought that it was a prank and then their lives completely turned upside down.

by Joey 5/21/2015 5:43:33 PM
Richelle Hill turned while on the ground after feeling other woman shaking. turned to be closer to right aisle

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:44:30 PM
@Joey Yes sadly

Richelle Hill "I'm hearing people screaming, i'm hearing the movie. those are the only things i can hear"

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:44:45 PM
Richelle Hill "After i've been pushed down to the gorund and we heard a break in the gunshots my fiance EF grabbed me and told me we needed to go?

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:45:12 PM
Richelle Hill woman laying beside was not moving. blood all around

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:45:30 PM
@Joey, Denial is normal in a Crisis.

by NT8 5/21/2015 5:45:31 PM
Richelle Hill EF grabbed her arm and told her they needed to leave. She grabbed her bag and they crawled up the stairs

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:45:49 PM
I would be a terrible witness I wouldn't be able to remember any of this, I dont think.

by me 5/21/2015 5:45:50 PM
Richelle Hill also recalls woman with wound on her buttocks

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:46:33 PM
Does Richelle know who was next to her?

by AJS 5/21/2015 5:46:47 PM
@NT8 I know but still. A lot of people play pranks though especially at the movies.

by Joey 5/21/2015 5:46:48 PM
Richelle Hill being asked to show route on the model

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:46:49 PM
@Stephany: IDK about the drivers license being red flagged; was saying probably as in hoping if there were a 72hr hold on him that it MAY have alerted the officer who pulled him over for speeding.

Richelle Hill says she heard changes in gunshots. "when i first heard the gunshots it was a deep, hard gunshot. like thicker than a regular, smaller gun. and then throughout, as we were going up the stairs, i heard faster gunshots, more quickly. and then as we were exiting i heard slower gunshots"

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:48:26 PM
The PT is stumbling a lot today over their words. Oof. Probably got the long weekend jitters, lol!

by proph 5/21/2015 5:48:27 PM
Richelle Hill hurt her left elbow and left side of head. also pinched nerve and 3 slipped discs

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:48:51 PM
I would have thought His actions were a prank had I been there too.

by Abrandt 5/21/2015 5:48:52 PM
No cross, Hill excused

by Phil Tenser 5/21/2015 5:49:00 PM
@Joey, I can say that from experience. When I was Sniped at I denied it in my own mind.

by NT8 5/21/2015 5:49:01 PM
@NT8 trust me I know you have way more experience than I. Just making observations :)

by Joey 5/21/2015 5:49:55 PM
Injuries on the buttocks I think because most people hit the deck, on stomach, laying low once the gunshots started.
