I don't know CPR (I should, I know), but if I did, I'm not quite sure I would have done the same, knowing, obviously, what your neighbors intentions were...in fact, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have tried to save him, as cold as that might sound to some.

Here's the thing PA, in spite of his wound being massive, he was looking at me with his one good eye and struggling to live, waving his arms, coughing, groaning etc. I brushed the gun further away from his hands and made my decision when I saw him lose color and stop breathing. This is the 2nd time I was first on the scene to someone being mortally wounded or injured and the first time I did not do it. The first thing the police asked me then was did I give him CPR. But that had nothing to do with it this time. His dad and family thanked me at the service yesterday so others might live with his organs. I had no knowledge of him being a donor. It was just a quick decision. Had it been out in the woods miles from any help, I probably wouldn't have done it. Don't know.
