Forensic and Ballistics Examinations '
A crime scene search by Metro-Bade Homicide Detectives and
Agents of the FBI Laboratory establishes 131 identifiable rounds
were fired. It is probable that other rounds were fired and
cartridge cases not retrieved. It is estimated that a minimum of
131 and as many as 140-145 total rounds were exchanged. Ballistics
identifications definitely establish that 40 rounds were fired by
rum; from PJQ223 ¢ sin:-'14.� �hm as possibly §@?¥?-='-"l- W
three rounds by Matti: from his shotgun.
Both Matti: and .357 Magnum revolvers, one a
Dan Wesson other a Smith and Wesson. Both of them
fired three rounds ir revolvers without striking Agents.
All of the severe damage done to Agent personnel was inflicted by
the .223-caliber ammunition. SA Manauzzi suffered superficial
wounds from shotgun pellets; SA Orrantia suffered superficial wounds
believed to have been inflicted by shrapnel from a .357 round
entering the passenger's compartment of his vehicle. Ballistics
. ff�. "_.-.- I . -1�, ..--»l.-
examinations have determined that Agents fired the following rounds:
SA Risner - six rounds from his .9mm. SA Risner states that he
fired l3 or 14 and had put a second loaded clip in the weapon;
however, only six cartridges were recovered. SA Grogan - nine
rounds from a .9mm. SA Dove - 20 rounds from his .9mm; cartridges "
