    Can’t put my finger on it, but I feel we have a word for fatally shooting people.

    I guess we’re avoiding the word gun in titles now…

      You unable to see the word “shoot” in the title? I doubt it was a blow dart…erm… oh wait. That’s a gun too!

      I don’t think it was a crossbow, or long bow, or a water…damn it. Keep coming back to “gun”.

      If you can’t discern that it’s a gun from the title, there’s not much to do.

          You inject with a syringe but maybe their mind went there since that’s referred to as a shot. I guess they could also assume someone forced them to drink 1.5oz of liquor and died from it. Maybe it’s because I’m American but when I hear “fatally shot” only one instrument comes to mind.
