In other words, investigators said the single shot fired by Rollins that hit Jaelynn Willey in the head also hit Desmond Barnes in the thigh. Now, that's an interesting shot trajectory!
The investigators must have interned with Arlen Specter.
Thw shooter must have gotten a hold of some JFK magic bullets.
Not at all. Bullets do strange things once they hit something.
That wonderful, poor girl was hit in her head. With the curvature of the skull the bullet probably glanced off the back and thus angled downward as it exited.
I once shot a whitetail deer at 102 paces while she was standing broadside to me. The bullet went through her heart and hit the ribs on the opposite side, turned 90 degrees and traveled down through four ribs then angled up to her spine, where it then traveled down the spine and then hit the pelvic bone where it then exited straight up and out through the top of her body. I used a 30-06 with a 180 grain flat base soft point. Hand load with about 54 grains of IMR4350 (if memory serves).
A pistol round does not have as much power as a rifle but at close range the bullet will go through a person, even if it hits bone, and especially if it was a Full Metal Jacket.
