- nkozyra 7y agoI must be missing it, the last thing I see about the situation is > The victim shot Hopkins multiple times in the chest. He then contacted law enforcement.
- saalweachter 7y agoWithout excusing the article for confusing several people and requiring follow up research to answer an obviously related question, in my experience if someone dies it will almost-always be explicitly stated in the article; newspapers are far more like to remember to say "shot and killed" or "shot... killing him instantly" or "died of his injuries", and far more likely to cut a sentence about an auxiliary party's recovery when editing.

- jessaustin 7y agoThis is a lesson for would-be violent extortionists: .22 is not an intimidating caliber.
- paulgb 7y agoIt is clear that the victim survived his gunshots but Hopkins' fate is not mentioned in the press release linked. It turns out he did survive and got a 20 year sentence. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndia/pr/cedar-rapids-felon-sentenced-twenty-years-federal-prison-after-attempting-extort https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndia/pr/cedar-rapids-felon-sent...
