FWIW, a bullet is an “explosive device “. It is much more directional than a bomb, but both bombs and bullets kill by sending out flying pieces of metal.

If they used a frag bomb, like a Claymore, I would be really disturbed. I would assume it was a breaching explosive which killed by blast overpressure or brisance.

“FWIW, a bullet is an “explosive device “. It is much more directional than a bomb, but both bombs and bullets kill by sending out flying pieces of metal.”

Right you are! Please pass ths along to “Rinnwald” he/she seems to be really “concerned” about “police bombmakers.” Then there’s the “we needed to take him alive” contingent. Seems to me that “being taken alive” is a situation to be decided by the shooter. Personally, I think the DPD got the best of both worlds last night, they killed the shooter, but he lived long enough to give a “complete statement:” “ I hate white people, I hate white cops more!” But he also said he acted alone which appears to be a lie.
