A cop was walking past a restaurant when he heard one woman scream and another woman yelled- "No John, not the gun!" He ran inside and and saw a doctor, a lawyer, a milkman, and a dead body on the floor. He promptly walked over to the milkman and arrested him. He didn't witness the shooting and there was no apparent evidence to prove who shot the person and no one told him who the killer was.
How did the policeman instantly know it was the milkman?

Annie~You'll get your 10 points tomorrow. The doctor and lawyer were women and the name screamed out was John, so the cop knew the killer (John) was the milkman.

Since the cop saw only 3 people and 1 dead body, there must have been only 4 people in the room.The doctor and the lawyer were the two women -- the one that screamed and the one who yelled "No John..." Therefore, John was "him" of the story, the milkman.

Everybody will assume that the doctor and the lawyer were men, but that's sexist. The milkman was the only male.
