He said he phoned his father, told him he had been shot and didn't think he'd make it.
The guy who drove the one who stopped the gunman said they don't know if they hit him. Killer lost control of the vehicle which suggests that he had been shot.
I was more than puzzled when he said that he killed himself.

They aren't mutually exclusive... Baconator Nov 2017 #64

Should have shot bad guy BEFORE he stepped into the church... hunter Nov 2017 #60
