FREDERICKTOWN, Mo. — A self-inflicted gunshot wound leaves behind several key indicators.
An imprint of the muzzle of the gun if it’s held directly against the skin.
Held slightly further away, soot from the muzzle flash of a gun will land on the skin.
Held slightly further than that and stippling, or the deposition of gunpowder to the skin where the powder abrades or scrapes the surface of the skin, leaves little punctures or red marks.
Derontae Martin had none of those things.
