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.
Agree totally. The entry wound is going to be 30cal sized. It’s the exit that’s the question. If it’s a solid there’s no way a 30-06 slug wouldn’t have kept going and hit something else (like the people behind him), if as was suggested it was a hollowpoint then in my experience the exit wound is going to be several inches in diameter (based on deer and pigs) on a human neck that means at least half his neck would have disappeared.
Neither of those two things happened on the video, hence me doubting the calibre.
On what I saw I’d be guessing 243, or 30-30 maybe even 300 blackout if we hadn’t seen a rifle pic, if the pictured rifle is correct than 300 BLK is way too new.
Anyway, pure speculation as a hunter based on my experience with animals. Just doesn’t match what I’ve observed.
I agree, if it’s 30-06 then it had to have been something that deformed heavily upon impact, and if it hit bone that might have been enough to stop it to not exit fully.
Yes and no the entry to a 30.06 is not huge, the exit will be, if it exits. The footage doesn’t show the exit.
