Henry ran his hand through his hair and tried to get a control on his motions so he would stop shaking.  He cleared his throat. "Has the threat been neutralized completely? Is it safe?"

The EMT who had been called ran forwards to the man who had been shot.  He had a giant pack on his shoulder which he dropped onto the hard station floor as he got on his knees.  The health professional checked the photographer's neck for a pulse before putting his head on the dude's chest.  "The threat? Man, you could have just shot his shoulder and I could have gotten you off easy. This is a serious injury which I understand was done in self defense.  But ah, it's going to be a bad scar if he even survives the surgery needed to get that bullet out of his head. You just nicked the brain instead of getting it in there.  A civilian whose better than a sniper really scares me. All the personal around here should get a writing up for this."
