Harold the Dumb

Harold whips out his cell phone and calls 911. He gasps to the operator, "My friend looks like he's dead! What can I do?"
The police operator, in a calm soothing voice says, "Just take it easy. I can help...
...First, lets make sure he's dead."
...There is a silence, then a shot is heard...
...Harold then says, "OK, now what?"
