Shot by a handgun from 120 yards away? What?
***Shot by a handgun from 120 yards away? What?***
Nothing new. Elmer Keith used to do it all the time, and Jeff Cooper had his .45ACP 1911 front sight fixed with a gold line near the base for 100 yard shots.
Skeeter Skelton of Shooting Times also did long range shooting with a handgun.
He simply placed the target on top of the front sight, then aligned the top of the rear sight with the line.
Years ago Guns an Ammo did an article on long range shooting with handguns.
Sit with your back against something solid and rest your wrists on your knees. With decent sights you can hit from way out.

Mrs. Evelyn Mulwray got her brains blown out at about that distance with a snubnose .38, but that was Chinatown....;)

Wait for the medical report to say what kind of bullets were used.
I’ll bet they were from a .22 rifle.
My 1911 will reliably put rounds in a 5 gallon bucket at 100+ yards (operator twitches account for most error) and my .357 with 6" barrel will do better.
