A man threatens a woman with a gun during a raid scene and he is shot in the head by Pappas. Blood is seen A man at a raid is shot in the foot, and the foot bursts open. Not graphic and surprisingly little blood. This is very brief. One of the bank robbery scenes turns into a brief shooting, in which people are shot. Bloody bullet wounds appear briefly, with one wound being very large and somewhat graphic; one person is shot in the back and a tiny amount of blood is seen spraying; a person is seen with a blood soaked shirt when he is wounded and gasping for breath. A man shoots two other men, and both die (bloody). During a raid, Utah is held down to rotating lawn blades. Quite intense.
