    Yes. He’s alive. Yay, etc.

    Edit: apparently he is not that much alive. I wrote this when I read some piece of news that claimed he was shot and taken to the hospital, not pronouncing him dead.

      He hasn’t been pronounced dead, he was taken to the hospital, where we can assume they’re doing everything they can to keep his brain alive. Likely massive blood loss, throat and neck trauma and potential spinal damage, if he does live it’s a radically life-altering injury.

      Death isn’t such a simple process, doctors have different levels they respond to before they make an announcement. Not much we can speculate on other than that. Wait and see.

      edit: he ded

      I mean, James Brady survived a head shot so anything is possible. Be prepared for early news reports to be wrong and corrected multiple times.
