A policeman is strolling down the street one day and enters his favorite diner as he does every day. He orders two doughnuts and a cup of coffee to go, pays his $3.50 and leaves. No sooner does he take 20 paces does he hear someone scream "NO, SCOTT! NOT THE GUN!" The sound of a single gunshot resounds throughout the area and the cop rushes back inside. Within he finds a freshly murdered body, a construction worker, a milkman, a football player, a lawyer, and a discarded, smoking pistol. Without a hint of hesitation, the policeman slaps a pair of bracelets on the murderer and calls for the paddywagon. Who was arrested and how did the policeman know he had arrested the correct suspect?

Here is the only hint I will allow you: I never said the football player was professional.

The milkman has to be a man. If the others are all female, the milkman would be the only possible one that could be named Scott. The milkman was arrested.
