The victim was not shot in the back, contrary to witness reports. Maybe not. The claim is, and I have no way to verify this, one of the arm wounds could only have been made from behind or if he had his hands up.

> In Columbine, the attackers had guns. No gun here. Doesn't matter. According to the police report, a 6'4" 300lb guy was charging at the police officer. You think that isn't probable cause to open fire and keep firing until the guy is down? Yes. >By the way, the autopsy confirms that the shots were all in the front. The victim was not shot in the back, contrary to witness reports. Right. The autopsy showed that the bullets that went through, went through in the front. But it also showed that they most likely were fired from a distance (pending an examination of Brown's clothing). That would corroborate the story of the woman who recorded the aftermath... she said that Wilson tried to put Brown in his car and Brown escaped and started to run. According to her, the officer got really pissed off and started firing at Brown, and grazed his arm with a bullet. At that point, Brown turned around and put his hands up, and Wilson shot him at least six times in the front. The autopsy does appear to show that he did get shot with his hands up. The detail that most of the eyewitnesses got wrong was that most of the shots hit him when he stopped running, not immediately after. Another autopsy coming... we'll see. -Z
