Reply #135: The speculation is that the first shot struck a tree branch... [View All]

and the bullet or a fragment hit the curb sending a shard of concrete into Mr. Tague's cheek. I'm not sure if the tree was in the way that early in the sequence, though.

Regarding the relative ease of the shots, in this case the first shot might have been the hardest because the shooter (if in the TSBD) would have had to be the closest to the window opening for the shot (due to the downward angle.) The other two shots he could have been inside, more or less out of sight.

Also, the third shot would have been the easiest because the car was moving almost directly away from the perch, making it easier to follow the moving car.
