One of the 14 bullets fired by a Milwaukee police officer at a mentally ill man killed in downtown's Red Arrow Park park in April hit him in the back, according to official autopsy results released Monday by an attorney for the man’s family.

Hamilton was on the ground when Manney responded to a call for a welfare check and began a pat-down. Manney, who is white, said he fatally shot Hamilton, who was black, after a fight. Manney said he feared that Hamilton would kill him.

The autopsy, conducted by the Milwaukee County medical examiner’s office, found that half of the 14 shots that hit Hamilton traveled downward, with one hitting his back. Safran said that seems to indicate the officer was standing above Hamilton. No gunpowder residue was found near Hamilton’s wounds, which Safran said showed the men were not close when Manney fired.

Fred Anapol, professor of anthropology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, looked at the autopsy documents Monday and said the possibilities for the downward trajectory include the officer being taller or the gun otherwise being pointed down. But he said it’s hard to make conclusions without all the police reports.
