Shot placement was indeed poor for the vast majority of shots. But I did see one .40 S&W bullet embedded in his neck, and another that is in his chest that appears to have clipped the bottom of his heart.
What I am most struck by is that:
A) The 180 gr Gold Dot bullets all show very little expansion. The one embedded in his neck shows basically none at all.
B) It seems that almost all of the .223 rounds went clear through him.
If bullets had been used that expanded and fragmented better, then I think that this gun fight would have ended sooner, despite the poor marksmanship.
The guy did receive many disabling wounds. His right elbow was totally destroyed by one 223 round. And his left ankle was completely pulverized by multiple hits. So he could not walk, or be able to use his right arm at all, after those hits.
The most ironic thing was that great big tattoo on his arm. It pretty much summed up his life. He apparently lived his life the way he wanted to.
