What BBN said about it

1. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMichael Mann, who directed Heat, shot himself in the leg at a Los Angeles gun range, and the LAPD says it was a training accident.

2. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorOur guest represents the range industry and the safety coalition at once. Thaddeus Okonkwo-Lindqvist, who do you actually work for this morning?

3. TO

   Thaddeus Okonkwo-LindqvistSpeaking only for my client, the range. And, in fairness, the coalition that wants ranges to be safer. Same client, different mornings.

4. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThe LAPD says a firearm was accidentally discharged into the man's own leg. Who discharged it?

5. TO

   Thaddeus Okonkwo-LindqvistNo one. Accidentally discharged into the man's own leg. Count the people in that sentence. It's the leg.

6. TO

   Thaddeus Okonkwo-LindqvistA source told TMZ it went off while he was holstering it around four in the afternoon, and my range client loves that verb.

7. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the gun went off by itself? Or he did something?

8. TO

   Thaddeus Okonkwo-LindqvistSpeaking only for my safety client, he did something, a very human holstering thing. Speaking for my range client, the gun showed initiative.

9. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorYou can't hold both of those at once.

10. TO

    Thaddeus Okonkwo-LindqvistI billed both for the sentence you just said. Sir, this is a man who made Ferrari and The Last of the Mohicans.

11. TO

    Thaddeus Okonkwo-LindqvistHe knows how a scene gets covered from two angles.

12. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBut did you write the LAPD's wording? Yes or no.

13. TO

    Thaddeus Okonkwo-LindqvistI'd call it a collaboration. I wrote the first draft and the angry response to it, so really it's a trilogy.

14. TO

    Thaddeus Okonkwo-LindqvistI'll only note that Heat Two is in development, and I'd like a role in the sequel.

15. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's a nine out of ten on the dodge. So who pays for the leg?

16. TO

    Thaddeus Okonkwo-LindqvistBoth sides, in installments. And the payment will have been discharged.
