The reaction in the emergency room was the same. How could a gunshot wound have caused this much damage? The organ looked like an overripe melon smashed by a sledgehammer, and was bleeding extensively. I was looking at a CT scan of one of the mass-shooting victims from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, who had been brought to the trauma center during my call shift. There may be bleeding and some bullet fragments. To a radiologist, it appears as a linear, thin, gray bullet track through the organ. In a typical handgun injury, which I diagnose almost daily, a bullet leaves a laceration through an organ such as the liver. I thought that I knew all that I needed to know about gunshot wounds, but the specific pattern of injury on my computer screen was one that I had seen only once before. The history simply read “gunshot wound.” I have been a radiologist in one of the busiest trauma centers in the United States for 13 years, and have diagnosed thousands of handgun injuries to the brain, lung, liver, spleen, bowel, and other vital organs. Anyone with information may call police at 51 or Crime Stoppers at 51.As I opened the CT scan last week to read the next case, I was baffled. Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $10,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the shooter. Police have not yet released a possible motive for the shooting and no arrests have been made. ShotSpotter technology recorded more than 12 rounds fired and numerous shell casings were located at the scene, authorities said.
