DoubleShot Cardinal?


CrimeScene

So this morning, I'm minding my own business, getting ready to open the DoubleShot, when much to my surprise... I see something out of the corner of my eye.

It takes my breath away, and all I can think is, "how could this happen out on the front sidewalk of my store?!"
A death at the DoubleShot.

[insert DRAGNET music here]

It looks suspicious. I seriously doubt this young, healthy-looking bird died of "natural causes." I mean, look at the way it's lying on the sidewalk. Look at the tiny, little feet poking up in the air. Look at the mark on its side that could indicate... a gunshot wound? (Thanks to Robert for his investigative skills in pointing this out.)

We've taped off the crime scene and drawn a chalk outline. So far we know that the bird perished less than 24 hours ago. Fowl play may be at work. (Get it? FOWL play?)
Thanks to Ryan and Henry for helping secure the scene.

I hope this is an isolated incident.
