Have They Recovered All The Bullets In The Michael Brown Shooting?.....

We always see the crime scene roped off and officials flagging where all the bullets wound up. Did this happen with this shooting? Where is the gun that Wilson used? Who has it?

How many rounds does it hold? There were supposedly six shots fired into Brown, although I also heard that more than one of the entry wounds might have been caused by the same bullet. There was supposedly one shot fired in the police car and one bullet that missed and was dug out of the front of a building (according to a witness). There is also the report that Brown was shot at and was facing away from the policeman, perhaps indicating that this shot missed but made him turn to face Wilson. From the look of things, Wilson went into a trigger-pulling spree and fired his full clip, however many rounds that holds. I'm wondering where the blood spatter from the bullets was collected. Was it collected along a trail approaching the officer? Was it collected from mainly one area, as though Brown was immobile while the officer pumped round after round into him? I'm assuming forensics can determine the minute differences between blood spatters from bullet entry wounds that strike the ground from the pooling of blood after the body drained itself of blood.

Photos of things like blood spatter?
Did the Medical Examiner show up? Why was Mr.Brown's body hauled off in a police SUV, rather than by the ME's office? WTF?
