Investigators obtained clues including a palm print, a shoe impression and a high-powered hunting rifle found in a wooded area along the path the shooter fled. But they had yet to name a suspect or cite a motive in the killing.
Uhh what? No, soft tip hunting rounds deform basically instantly when hitting soft tissue. The wound channel is designed to create maximum damage so that the animal they’re used against are dead pretty much immediately.
Did you see the footage ? Yes a hollowpoint / soft tip round is intended to open up, but if a 30-06 hollowpoint had hit his neck, half of it would be gone, which it wasn’t.
It was probably 30 cal (entry hole looked too big for .223) but something with a lot less oomph than a 30-06, and probably not an expanding round either, even from something with less punch.
