Abstract

Careful and meticulous probing of sites of individual pellet injuries in distant shotgun wounds with repositioning of the body to allow parallel alignment of pellet tracts make possible the determination of the position of a decreased at time of injury. Spared areas, or "gaps," within the pattern may result from shielding either by body parts or by an intermediate object. The present case reports illustrate the method and its importance.
