He shoved his hands in his pockets, watching in mild surprise (which he did his best to mask) as Mycroft actually got down onto the floor. With a nod, he glanced toward the open door where it led out to the hall. "We haven't got much on the shooter by way of a description. Just what we pulled from the bloody shoe print on the threshold - male, bit smaller than average. No one saw him." It would take time to pull the security footage if there even was any, so for now - a good Holmesian estimate would do as well as anything.
And one Holmes was as good as another, apparently. Even when it came to getting hands dirty. That was a bit of a surprise. "Could have been Sherlock," he allowed quietly, with a shrug. "Could have been you, could have been me. Anyone can get himself shot."
