Abstract

The deceased was a 26-year-old man who was killed in a multiple shooting incident while sitting alone in his car. This individual was shot by multiple individuals, with different types of ammunition, from different angles. It is beyond the scope of this article to describe all the gunshot wounds. It is the intention of the authors to merely focus on the pathology of trauma of full-metal jacket ammunition with a penetrator (mild steel core in this presentation). The authors describe what was found at autopsy.
