five of the 11 wounds were shotgun pellets, all arriving within a hundredth of a second of each other.

oh, and a couple of the other wounds were grazes.

Hm. See, from this account:

"Walker had 11 gunshot wounds, including five in the back. "

"Der and Kifer fired, hitting Walker five times with shotgun pellets and six times with bullets from Der's .45-caliber handgun."

I had interpreted "five times with shotgun pellets" as being five different discharges of the shotgun, not five pellets. But if you have another source that says different, then that's a different issue.

But there's still some issues, to me. First, I'd think that if you were shot 5 times with a .45, you'd have gone down before the 5th shot. So that's a bit questionable. Then there's the issue of five shots in the back. If that's five pellets from one shotgun firing that hit him as he spun around, O.K. If they stood over him and pumped 5 rounds into him after he fell down on his face, then that's wrong. Is there a source for more detail on what happened?
