  • Title: [Homicide by gunshot. An evaluation of 50 homicides with reference to gunshot wound site].
    Author: Rammelsberg JO, Nowak R.
    Journal: Arch Kriminol; 1999; 203(3-4):65-72. PubMed ID: 10378039.
    Abstract:
    In this paper the homicides committed in the region of Ulm with firearms over a period of 17 years were studied. These included 50 deaths caused by gunshot wounds, 33 males and 17 females. Homicides by firearms accounted for 44 percent, which was slightly higher than in other German regions. Homicide victims were found in all age groups with a markedly higher number up to the 20th year and in the fourth decade of life. In most cases small arms were used, and in many cases multiple shots were fired primarily hitting the head and the left side of the trunk: but injuries in the region of the extremities were also seen.
