Common Forensic Findings.
The forensic finding most prevalent in authority murder is the use of more than
one firearm; often the weapons selected are semiautomatic, selected for quick
firing; they may be of more than one caliber. Therefore, various and numerous
shell casings may be found at the scene, which will help establish the number
of rounds fired. Wounds usually are severe and numerous. Multiple wounds on a
victim may suggest the primary target, and the killing of the primary target
may prompt the suicide of the offender. If the primary target is not taken, the
offender may commit suicide or surrender when he runs out of ammunition.
