Escaped inmate Richard Matt was shot three times in the head and died from severe skull fractures and brain injuries, according to autopsy results released Sunday.

The autopsy, performed at Albany Medical Center by Dr. Michael Sikirica, showed that Matt also had bug bites, blisters and minor abrasions "consistent with living in the woods for three weeks," according to a statement from New York State Police.

Guess he was a little cranky from all those bug bites.

Wonder how many shots total?

And (shame on me?) I wonder about the type of weapon, range, caliber, and shooting stance, or if the officer was walking forward

If it was NY cop talent level, there were likely 400 rounds+ fired. All while the guy stood stock still.

What was it just a few moths ago where those clowns cranked off 100+ shots and only hit the guy once, if that?

One did survive his wounds. Reportedly she liked both of them.

Don’t think she thought out her plan too much.......

...How many shots fired...?
Cops, typically fire about 17 shots in a gunfight.
That’s assuming there was one.
