Phil...

I have no doubts about a hard cast 9mm bullet's ability to penetrate, so I'm not surprised at the entry-exit wounds.

What I would like to know is what internal structures did the bullet transect internally? Clearly some vascular structure(s) was/were hit, but with that rapid incapacitation I wonder if you might have hit the thoracic spine?
