That makes sense. And the messages were written on the casings, but those are left behind when you shoot, right (sorry I know very little about guns)? So it's not really intended for the victim but for whoever finds them, and the idea is to not pick them up when you're done?
As I said, I find all this confusing, unclear, and rather wait another day or so before I make up my mind.
PS: All I know is a Tom Waits song about thirty-ought-six.
The shooter used Mauser 98 bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06 ("thirty-aught-six"). The Mauser 98 is a bolt action rifle; a form of single action, meaning the firearm needs to be recocked before fired again, similar to a old revolver or a Nerf blaster. Since only one shot was fired, no casings actually left the firearm. The spent casing from the fired shot never left the chamber, as it would not be extracted until recocked.
Right, on the casing, which is left behind after shooting. And didn't he only fire one shot? So the entire round was left behind for all but one of them.
