Shooting reconstruction
Shooting reconstruction (also sometimes called "shooting incident reconstruction" or trajectory analysis) is an examination of the circumstances and physical evidence at the scene of a shooting to establish how the incident occurred.
If the shooting is associated to a suspected criminal activity, then shooting reconstruction may be a part of a crime reconstruction. Questions typically answered by a shooting reconstruction include the distance, direction, sequence, and angle in which shots were fired in a crime scene.
