Oops. Forgot to note that the bullet had to be _removed_ from the knee at the hospital, which lends some additional support to the possiblility of a riccochet. It’s possible for heavy round bones to stop a pistol round, but it’s not expected for close range direct fire in a part of the body where there is very little soft tissue to trap the bullet. ---

Aren’t police armed with hollow point bullets to prevent ricochet, though? For that matter, do hollow points even affect that at all? I draw this only from vague recollections floating in otherwise total ignorance, mind you. ---
