I know this happened something like seven years ago and I know Temple was shot six times. What I have never been able to clarify is whether, as has been alleged, Temple was shot in the back or what. All I can find is that he was shot "in the torso".
Reason for asking is this: It would seem to me, and I am not an expert on human physiology, that shots to the back of an individual would be shots to a better-protected area than shots to the chest. In the back, you have the spinal column and it appears the ribs are more closely spaced. In the front, you have the sternum, not as thick as the spinal column, and the ribs appear to be less closely spaced.
I have also never heard whether or not any type of drugs or steroids were found in his system.
Disclaimer: This is not just morbid curiosity. Knowing why it took six(?) shots to stop Temple's attack may be of benefit to all of us who carry.
