Talk about good karma,
"The suspect, who was not named because he is a juvenile, was one of a group who approached someone using a cellphone in the street at around 11pm on Saturday, December 14, according to the San Francisco Police Department.

One of the suspects demanded the cellphone and another suspect produced a handgun while others were going through the victim's possessions, the police said.

"The victim offered no resistance and was complying with the robbery suspects demands when the armed suspect shot the robbery victim," San Francisco police said in a statement. "The shot glanced off the victims face and struck one of the robbery suspects, killing him."

 

Whooo, that's good!

Ah, blessed karma.

 

Cops and progressives usually say to comply and not resist when confronted. Maybe they will change their minds about self-defense if people start getting shot at while complying.

The shot glanced off the victims face...

 

OK, but is anyone else just a little curious as to how this happened?

The forehead is pretty darn thick.  Furthermore, going back to Physics 101 with Professor Ravindra "Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection"...  Meaning if the angle of the bullet hitting the forehead was sufficiently glancing (as it appears it was) then a "ricochet" rather than a "penetration" is likely.

I know of a case where a agent hit a pitbull square in the forehead and it glanced upward.no penetration.

You can't always expect the desired effect moreso if using a low energy cartridge, say 380 or below.

 

A Customs Inspector was shot in the mouth by a drug smuggler with a 380 back in 1997. The bullet was deflected by the inspectors teeth, exited through his lower jaw and lodged in the flesh of his chest. The Inspector drew and returned fire, fired 4 or 5 shots, missed with one round, and killed his assailant.

 

I know of an incident back in the 70s where someone shot a bad guy in the back of the head with a NAA Mini Revolver in 22 short. The bullet hit the skull, traveled under the scalp and exited the bad guy's forehead by his hairline. The bad guy wiped the back of his head found blood, wiped his forehead finding blood, and fainted because he thought he was shot through the head. The police took him to the ER and after an xray, tetanus shot, and two bandaids he went to jail.

 

Strange things happen all the time.

Obviously he was shooting a 9mm. [asbestos suit on]

He's Superman!!!

He's Superman!!!

Nonsense! Superman only uses public phone booths, not cell phones!

It could have easily been a cheap semi-auto chambered in .25 or .32 ACP.

Happens all the time. And not just .380, .25, or .32. 9mm, .45, .357, you name it. Don't aim for the forehead.

Nah. San Francisco? The guy was probably wearing a "gimp" suit. Zipper ricochet.
