Gunshot
Caim was walking towards his office on the sidewalk when suddenly he heard a gunshot. The police found him dead on the sidewalk one hour after the incident. They concluded that the bullet had hit his head and he died on impact. The police also caught the man responsible for the crime and acquired the high-powered rifle used in the crime.

Answer
If the bullet had hit his head then there is no way he would have heard the gunshot; the bullet of a high-powered rifle travels faster than sound. The bullet would have killed him before he heard anything.Hide Answer Show Answer

Ah yeah the f-i-r-s-t again i see!!! nice and easy teaser, yeah you're right... I GOT IT!!
I thought it was because, YOU ARE CAIM! So you could not tell the story.
Very clever.
Good one, although a bit too easy. Keep up the good work
Got it ! And it was a good one !
easy but fun
Clever! It was not a difficult one, but that is nice on the brain every once in a while.
I got it, yeah me! Oh good teaser too!
That's really good.
I thought he was in a city surrounded by people
I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE YOU SAID INCIDENT. AN INCIDENT IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED, WHILE AN ACCIDENT IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED RESULTING IN DEATH -BABii
Uh, since when have all accidents resulted in death? I tripped over a rug, it was an accident, am I dead yet, I thought not...I pegged a guy in the head in dodgeball but I aimed for his chest, it slipped. And last time I checked, niether of us have been killed as a result of the accident that resulted in the incident. (oh and don't go thinking that car-accidents
count, seeing as they are always preventable and the more conventional term is 'collision')

Plus, accidents are unplanned and unintentional, im pretty sure that a headshot from a distance with a high-powered Sniper Rifle was unplanned or accidental. (Unless our Marine Snipers are 'accidently' popping people in the skull...)
Pretty interesting. I own a shotgun so should have figured it out. I love these kind of teasers. Keep up the good ones coming.
