A 65 y/o male is found in his garden, the victim of two gunshot wounds--one on the left temple, one on the right temple. Both wounds contain soot at the margins and within the depth of the wounds. Beside the victim is a .38 caliber pistol with hollow point ammunition, one shot missing. In his tool shed is a civil war pistol--located about 50 yards from the final resting place of the victim. At autopsy, X-rays show two projectiles immediately adjacent to the left temporal bone of the skull, and a single wound track traversing the brain from right to left. What are possible explanations for this scenario?
