Minute mysteries!

When I was in high school, my geometry teacher always told us minute mysteries. It was my favorite part of the class. But, anyway, I looked online to find some to share with you guys. I'm gonna start posting one every day or so and you can try to figure them out. Reply to the post but put your answer in the message box rather than the subject box so everyone else can guess too. Have fun! Here's the first one:

The Case of the Cellular Phone

"Dr. Dawson, you must go to Brent Abbott's house immediately! I think he's been shot!" John Wilson explained.

"I'll meet you at his house then," Dr. Dawson replied.

Dr. Dawson and an ambulance arrived at Mr. Abbott's house soon after he got off the phone with Mr. Wilson. One hour later John arrived just in time to see the body of his best friend being carried out of his house.

"What took you so long to get here?" Dr. Dawson asked.

"Um, I needed to pick up a birthday cake for my wife. There was a big line-up at the store. So, is he dead?" John asked slowly.

"I'm afraid he is." Dr. Dawson informed him, "You live way up in the mountains, don't you?"

"Yes I do, " Mr. Wilson answered.

"Can you please tell me how you knew he was shot?" Dr. Dawson asked.

"Certainly. I was driving out of my driveway when I decided I'd better call him on my cell phone to tell him that I was coming over to drop off some tools I borrowed a couple weeks ago. He picked up the phone. He seemed a little uneasy when he said hello. I was just about to tell him I was on my way over when he suddenly screamed and I heard three gun shots. I called his name a couple times, then I hung up and quickly called you!"

"Why don't you just admit killing him," Dr. Dawson said.

"What are you talking about? He's my best friend!" John exclaimed, a little surprised.

"Well then, why did you kill him?"

How did Dr. Dawson know that John had killed his best friend?
