Yeah I'm not sure he's dead yet, but the shot was pretty on point.

    I looked around after hearing about it and several sources confirmed his death not long ago.

    To steal a quote from that Scottish granny commenting on Thatcher’s death: they ought to put a string of garlic around his neck and a stake in his heart to make sure he doesn’t come back.

    Reuters reporting his death now. Suspect not yet apprehended.

    Given the footage, it would be a miracle if he survived - that's a severe amount of blood loss within seconds.

    It looked like a shot right in the jugular. Even if EMT's were sitting right next to him, it's incredibly unlikely to survive that.

    Judging by the weird way his head lolled back I'm pretty sure it severed his spine too. Double whammy. Dude was dead before he knew what hit him.
