Autopsy results show massive injuries
Meanwhile, autopsy results released by the Harris County Medical Examiner's Office on Tuesday show the two burglars who were fatally shot by Horn outside his Pasadena home were struck in the back, shoulders and arms by buckshot . The results affirm accounts of the shooting earlier disclosed by investigators.
The buckshot hit Ortiz in the back of both shoulders and elsewhere on the left side of his back, according to his autopsy. The pellets penetrated his left lung, heart, spleen, aortic root, left jugular vein and other areas, the Medical Examiner's Office reported.
The pellets exited his body in his left upper chest, the left side of his neck and his left shoulder.
Torres had buckshot wounds in the left lateral chest and posterolateral torso, left posterior arm and other areas.
The pellets injured his spleen, transverse colon, left lung, heart and left wrist.
While the autopsies had been conducted months ago, the medical examiners' office declined to release them until today.
