At least one bullets pushed a piece of his clothing (probably his tie) through one of the wounds in his abdomen. You can see that piece of clothing sticking up above the ambassador's abdomen.

Thanks for your response.

Many are saying he was only shot once, through the heart. Others say he was shot once, in the spine. You are saying there were multiple wounds. One of the bullet pushed a piece of his clothing (probably his tie) through one of the wounds in his abdomen. So the 'claim' none of the bullets went 'through' his body would then be wrong. And where's the blood, if it did go 'through' ?

I wouldn't be questioning these things if I thought that the 'media' (here and in other countries) always told the 'truth', and if I believed that 'governments' never did anything wrong or faked 'incidents' to gain power or fool the populace into 'favoring' some 'action'.

I share your skepticism about news reporting, but in this case we have video and photos as direct evidence of what happened. To answer one of your last questions first, we have found out that the killer was, in fact, a Turkish policeman with special forces training. He used his police credentials to pose as security for the event and enter armed. He stood behind the ambassador for some minutes before drawing his weapon and firing multiple shots into the ambassador's back.

You can see the video showing the ambassador's reaction the instant he is hit. The killer shot multiple times directly at the ambassador and, since the killer had both police and special forces training, he undoubtedly hit the ambassador with most, if not all the shots we hear.

You don't need any reporter or any person posting on the internet to tell you these things. You can hear and see them for yourself. Skepticism is one thing, but refusal to believe facts in front of your own eyes and coming to your own ears is quite another.

There is no absence of blood. Like all liquids, flowing blood will seek the lowest level -- in this case, through several layers of cloth and under the body of the ambassador who fell straight down and onto his back. He was wearing a dark suit and sweater, so you would not see blood easily in the images we have available.

Surely in your own life you've seen flowing blood from a cut or other injury. Blood drips or runs downward toward the floor, and if you put a cloth or cotton on it, the material absorbs the blood. There is absolutely no difference in this case of the ambassador's murder.
