  • Case Courtesy of Dr. Vivian Snyder (EAC Member, Alameda County)
    Case courtesy of Dr. Vivian Snyder (EAC member, Alameda County) Bullets found at the scene Responses: A. .410 shot shell (14.08% responses) .410 bore is one of the smallest caliber shotgun shells available, most significant for its capability of being fired from either a shotgun or select handguns, most popularly the Taurus Judge revolver. As with other shotgun ammunition, this ammunition consists of multiple lead pellets held within a plastic shot sleeve/cup and casing. Another unique feature of .410 gauge shot cups being that they peel back to produce 3 “petals” instead of the usual 4 seen with other shotgun shells. Depending on range of fire the plastic shot sleeve may follow the charge into the wound. B. Snake shot (20.66% responses) Snake shot cartridges are smaller versions of shotgun cartridges designed to be fired using handguns. They contain multiple pellets within a brass casing, topped by a hollow plastic capsule. The plastic capsule shatters during firing, allowing shot to disperse after exiting the muzzle. This ammunition is generally used for shooting snakes, rodents and birds at very close range, and has very limited penetrating power. Despite generally having comparable size lead shot to Glaser rounds, injuries related to this ammunition have significantly less penetrating ability and would not contain jacket fragments. C. “Lead snowstorm” from high-velocity handgun ammunition (29.11% responses) Rifle ammunition and some high-velocity handgun ammunition (e.g. .357 magnum rounds) are associated with one of the most characteristic X-ray findings in forensic pathology. The “lead snowstorm” is described as hundreds of small radiopaque bullet fragments scattered along a wound track.
