Before being hit in happier times

 Word Count 100

A few years ago I was volunteering removing ivy from an area around the tool yard of Tryon State Park south of Portland Oregon.  Two police cars showed up and informed me that they had a coyote with a broken back that had to be killed because the injury was fatal.  It had been hit by a car about a mile away on Terwilliger Boulevard which borders the park.  I heard more than one shot during the execution.  Bad marksmanship?  The police explained beforehand that there was no better place in the residential neighborhood for the killing than the park.

In Five Minutes. This is an abbreviated way that I remember it. I’d like to place a longer version.
