It always helps to read the stories, do a DuckDuckGo search and find information on a story. This was Philly, police found 23 spent casings.
The head duck said this was a large caliber handgun. The cartridge is a bottleneck, so it burned a bit of powder, semi auto, but when it comes down to it, there is not that great of difference in size from a 45 to a 9 mm.
The British press do a better job of muckraking.
The SunIn the end, 15 shots out of 23 critically wounded a human. No mention of how fat the guy was to absorb, the type of bullets used, nor the location of the hits, which did not penetrate or exit, and the majority probably hit in the arse. As this is Philly, the streets, the bias is he was Black, and if he was football size in 350 pounds, it is a big difference compared to a 140 pound meth head.
Speaking of which, it was 3:30 AM, on a busy street, in a part of Philly not noted for high dollar mansions, but cruisers. It was a bad drug deal, in either the shootee was in someone elses turf or he tried to jack the trade, in which case the shooter, who was on foot dealing, opened up, appears to kept stationary as the shootee began a search for a hospital.
It was bad shooting from not being able to handle recoil in the shooter, but they still hit 15 out of 23 shots. The misses would have occurred as the shootee moved away. All the same, that was one hyped up trigger finger to pump that many loads off, unless of course it was a full auto, but that could not be the case as Philly has strict gun control laws, and no one would have Class 3 firearms.
That part is sarcasm, but the crime scene photos do not reveal a pile of shells as a full auto would dispense. This appears to be a trigger pull for each shot, which is pretty impressive, and signals someone who was not smoking weed, but was hyped on uppers.
