Hospital staff collected his clothes as evidence and washed his hands. There was bullet residue on Pearl’s arms and inside and outside his clothing, indicating that he fired from under his shirt. His shirt was riddled with bullets, but there were no wounds on his upper body, which medical staff found odd.
