Ok what had happened was, Skinny called and asked you to help him with his tooth ache, so you grabbed the gloves (because skinny is known to bite) and the pliers to remove his tooth. When Skinny pulled up in his pinto the possum jumped out of the passenger seat and tried to "judy chop" you so you grabbed the taurus beat it open with the channel locks, loaded the revolver, aimed it.....had a misfire and the possum died of a heart attack.
