My son told me that he heard that Rosenbaum got shot in the back before Kyle killed him.

The DA's complaint states that Rosenbaum was shot in the back, with the bullet passing through his lung and liver. But surprisingly there is no exit wound visible on Rosenbaum's torso in the video which shows him moments after the shooting.

It seems strange that a typical 5.56mm round at close range would not create a visible exit wound. Presumably more information will come out about what actually happened.

The video recordings of Rosenbaum's attack on Rittenhouse indicate multiple people were firing guns, not just Rittenhouse.

5.56 at close range as in under 50 meters will have an impact velocity of nearly 3000fps. At those speeds even FMJ rounds fragment after a few inches of flesh penetration. I have seen many a haj bleed out internally with only a icepick looking entry wound and a growing tick like bubble of blood in the.abdomen. takes only a few minutes to bleed out.internally that way. I personally load in my 7.5” AR 55gr TAP bullets they are polymer tipped designed to fragment at the reduced velocity of a shorter barrel. Fragmention after 5 inchs or so of penetration is ideal for short range self defense. The risks of pass through and a secondary blue on blue casualty is eliminated and wounds from fragmentation round are nearly always unsurvivable even with immediate medical attention. Most are DRT or in a few minutes DOS.
