who ever shot her needs to learn how to reload his ammo, his round was very underpowered for a .44

Hope they catch the sob's

Likely had to be an underpowered round to break on the frontal bone like that. It's a little thicker between the eyes but it's also not curved to either side very much at all.

Or....the way they describe it makes me think it went through the windshield first. Picture it, if someone is in a car in front of you and they stand up through the sunroof to shoot at you, they pretty much have to go through the windshield, right?

Then again, the article's sort of poorly written: "At a traffic light, someone in one of the cars stood up in the sunroof and started shooting back at the truck."

Back at the truck?

I want to know how you shoot someone in traffic in Tampa and "The police are still looking for the shooter". Are you joking me?

It happens all the time with .22 rounds but not with .44. Way underpowered.
