I have no update as to whether he survived or not. Its still only 5:00 am or so here. I really know very little details and couldn't give much info to the RCMP Officer but gave enough to satisfy her I guess.
I just wonder how the hell a gun could go off in this house in another apartment and me not notice the different sound and KNOW it was a gun shot???? very strange? No? Yes? though there was a lot of loud banging off and on. I think what I thought was a very hard slammed bedroom window in their apartment may have been the big bang of the gun, in thinking back. I dunno. Normal to hear loud sounds/bangs/bumps etc from there sometimes so didn't think much about it. There was a lot of people and activities and loudness off and on throughout the day and evening over there so it just sort of blended in for me I guess.

Ma ..
It depends on the situation and method used when the gun is fired..
Noise comes from the explosion of powder AND the speed of the bullet breaking the sound barrier,much like a jet that makes a "sonic boom" when it breaks the sound barrier..
If the gun is fired when it is held against the body,there is only the bullet explosion sound and the "sonic boom" does not occur ,as the bullet must pass through an air space..
So although there will be noise it may be muffled or reduced ,and it depends what calibre of gun is used..
A .22 short is sub sonic and is quite quiet when muffled,but will kill you just as dead as a larger bullet..but usually when one decides to commit sewer pipe with a gun,noise is the least of there worries..
