The second gunshot missed Mr Arbery before the third struck him near his left armpit, hitting a major artery and vein and fracturing bones.
The first shot struck Mr Arbery’s right wrist first – tearing through an artery – before striking him in the centre of his chest, Dr Donoghue said. The medical examiner testified that three gunshots were fired at close range, two of them striking Mr Arbery and a third missing him entirely.
