A 59-year-old man was shot at the wheel of his car while waiting for a traffic light at an intersection. He was shot through the windshield from a distance of about 1 m. He was pronounced dead on arrival at an emergency hospital. ⋯ The fatal bullet entered the right chest cavity at the 7th intercostal space and lacerated the right lung and the ascending aorta after glancing on the right lobe of the liver. The cause of death was hemorrhage from the lacerated aorta. The grazing bullet wounds of the tongue and liver were shallow defects of the tissues with irregular margins.
