The shooting happened on Wednesday, and Saint Louis was yet again the scene of retaliatory violence by the community toward police.

If you were standing 20 feet away from someone and they shot toward you, your natural untrained instinct would be to you to turn your shoulder and slightly duck. If you were simultaneously holding a firearm in your right hand, this type of movement would account for an entry wound to your upper right shoulder (back) traveling toward your left.
