from the look of the wound, I'm wondering if the bullet hit him at an angle sharp enough that it grazed off his skull instead of penetrating. The forehead does have some serious bone in it.

Ok one round to the head probably knocked him down. But what about squirting him while he was going down? I have seen too many reports of four or five cops shooting 30 rounds at naked guys in the street. Waz up with only one round?

Bad angle in relation to the threat.  It's the same situation as trying to make a high angle shot through a windshield.  Chances are you will skip a round off the windshield rather than penetrate it.

The best chance to penetrate the skull is to make any shot as close to perpedicular as possible.  The less angle the better.

Then again, sometimes we just plain miss our aiming spot.

I agree with the angle thing. I've actually seen a .357 magnum ricochet off a hog's forehead (right between the eyes) due to bad shooting angle.
I wish there was more definite info on the actual shooting.

The article did say the round hit high and ricocheted off.
