He continued, “Sundance said it happened very fast and he could see the bullet go off. I thought he called 911. He didn’t — he put the phone in his pocket right after impact. Hands down but the phone wasn’t full of blood so he pulled the car down the driveway to the main road. After 10 cars down for help someone called 911 .
