We report three unusual and atypical cases of firearm-fatalities. Two of the victims had two gunshot wounds. The two gunshot wounds were in the head in one of the cases and in the chest in the other. The third case was a suicide with a gunshot wound in the back of the neck. It is a very rare case in forensic practice to have more than one gunshot wounds in a suicide. A suicide case with the gunshot wound located in the back of the neck is still rarer. There were obvious difficulties in the three unusual and atypical cases we report to decide whether they were homicide, suicide or accident. Reports of firearm-related suicide cases with more than one gunshot wound or unusual wound site enriches forensic practice, providing additional data that may help differentiate between homicide and suicide.
我们报告了三起不同寻常且非典型的火器致死案例。其中两名受害者有两处枪伤。在其中一个案例中，两处枪伤位于头部，在另一个案例中则位于胸部。第三个案例是一起颈部后方枪伤的自杀事件。在法医实践中，自杀者身上有多处枪伤是非常罕见的情况。枪伤位于颈部后方的自杀案例则更为罕见。在我们报告的这三起不同寻常且非典型的案例中，要判定它们是他杀、自杀还是意外事件存在明显困难。涉及多处枪伤或伤口位置不寻常的火器相关自杀案例报告丰富了法医实践，提供了可能有助于区分他杀和自杀的额外数据。
