Wait for him to go outside, then point a gun at him. He will start shooting at you. Don't do anything or else you will have a bounty on your head! Let the police shoot and kill him.

- RED / B

- YELLOW / Y

- BLUE / X

- GREEN / A

- RED / B

Wolves

If you're being attacked by wolves and you don't want to spend time aiming and killing, one or two blasts from a shotgun should be enough to scare them off.
