I've been involved in shooting scene reconstruction since early in
my career as a Criminalist (click on photo above).
In a shooting scene reconstruction we are dealing with a
shooting incident which took place at some point in the past (sometimes, years
after the incident), and we are attempting to rebuild that sequence of events
through a proper consideration of the record of physical evidence remaining.
Oftentimes, in my work as a shooting scene reconstructionist, I deal with a
set of circumstances which are vastly changed from the initial shooting scene
conditions. The following is a list of documents which I find helpful in
attempting to rebuild the shooting event:
 | Any and all photographs (videotapes, etc.) of the shooting scene taken
by the police and others |
| Any and all photographs of the victim at the scene and at the autopsy |
| Any and all police incident reports, investigative reports, shooting scene
diagrams, sketches, personal notes, statements taken by the police, etc. |
| The autopsy report(s) |
| Reports of the EMT's and Medical Records |
| List of all physical evidence impounded from the scene |
| Crime Laboratory reports |
| Statements of the shooter, witnesses, victim (if available), etc. |
| Any and all complaints, allegations, pleadings, interrogatories,
answers to interrogatories, or other documents gleaned during court
proceedings |
