Footage of the incident from the Okavango Delta shows the NRA executive vice-president in safari clothing and accompanied by guides, firing three shots at the wounded animal from barely five yards away, with none of them finding the right place to finish it off. The dying elephant is heard gurgling and struggling for breath, after LaPierreâs initial shot had felled it but failed to kill it. âIâm not sure where youâre shooting,â a guide tells him, before another man is ordered in to finish off the animal with a single shot. Later in the clip, published on Tuesday by the Trace, a non-profit journalism outlet that focuses on gun-control news and is affiliated to the New Yorker, LaPierreâs wife Susan is seen killing another elephant.
