"Less than a second worth of shots using a well tuned semi auto 9mm. IF a wound was in the top of the head, it could easily be the last of a string of shots and hit as the subject/thug is going down."

That's my theory - that the head shot was the last shot as Brown was going down, falling towards the officer. The arm shots probably did not stop Brown.

Same here. I think he was running toward the officer and the arm shots made him lose his balance and stumble, falling forward and putting the top of his head directly into the path of a bullet originally aimed at his chest.
