As Officer Pence knelt behind the patrol car and began to reload his empty revolver from the right side of his dump pouch, Twining fired four rounds at him from the left flank, striking him twice in the legs (inducing a compound fracture of the left femur and a wound to his right lower leg), and twice again in the lower torso (striking Officer Pence in the left hip and left abdomen). Terribly wounded, Officer Pence struggled to complete his reload of the empty revolver and get back into the fight. (Refer again to ssss1.)39
Twining pressed his advantage by closing in on the left rear of the patrol car. Drops of Twining’s blood would later mark the spot near the left rear door handle where he leaned over the fender of the car and extended his pistol at Officer Pence as he reloaded. Twining fired the pistol once from a few feet away, hitting Officer Pence in the back of the head and killing him instantly at the same moment Officer Pence was preparing to close the cylinder on his freshly loaded revolver.
