I hadn't realized that the only yard Barbara D here mentions is the "front 
yard"-- she seems to be saying that BOTH shells were found in the front 
yard.  The only referent we have for "back into the yard" and "where I saw 
this man emptying his gun" is the "front yard".  Thanks, Hank!  Barbara D 
changed her story re the finding of BOTH shells for her testimony.
