Chatbot-Derived Shot Angle and Distance
What This Image Shows
A cropped screenshot of a short post from an account shown as John Cullen, handle @I_Am_JohnCullen, posted 34 minutes before capture.
The post reads: "The shot fired at Charlie was at a 7 degree downward angle, according to @Grok. 53 feet - height differential. 143 yards away."
These three numbers are the geometry of the official account, and they are checkable against the buildings: a 53 foot height differential over 143 yards does yield roughly a seven degree depression angle, so the figures are internally consistent. The source is the weak link, because a chatbot restating a widely repeated figure is not a measurement. That angle is precisely what the wound and trajectory arguments in this archive turn on, since a shallow depression is hard to reconcile with a round stopping in the body.
