dilton doiley shot the gun on july 4th

"and in that moment of hesitation, you're dead. all of you are dead," dilton said to his scouts. "at ease, doiley. i'm writing an article for the blue and gold. hoping you can help," said juniper. "dismissed! but stay close," dilton said to his scouts. "cheryl and archie both say they heard a gunshot the morning of july 4th, but they don't know who fired," said juniper. "sheriff keller already asked me about this. and like i told him, my scouts and i, we didn't hear anything weird," said dilton. "well, did you see anything weird," asked juniper, getting a bit closer to him. dilton squinted his eyes at her, walked even closer to her, crossed his arms, and gave a long sigh. "a white-winged crossbill. a long-eared owl, oh," dilton started, juniper rolling her eyes and catching sight of one of the scouts acting strange, or guilty of some sort. "and cheryl, sitting by the river, soaking wet," said dilton. juniper looked at him, slightly furrowing her eyebrows.

juniper and jughead walked into pop's and sat in the kid's booth. jughead took his cherry and ate it. the kid dropped his spoon and said, "what the hell, man?" "i saw the way you looked at me. during grizzly training. you're hiding something," said juniper, as she started to eat his sundae. "it's scoutmaster doiley. he's lying," said the kid. "about what," asked jughead. "the gunshot. it was him. he was teaching us how to shoot targets," the kid confessed. "dilton doiley shot the gun on july 4th," asked juniper, her voice slightly faltering. "he's a hardcore survivalist. he says if we don't protect ourselves, no one will," said the kid.
