I listened to the whole news cast on the medical examiner.

What caused me to disbelieve the story completely is he said the bullets were the kind that would basically not go through the body but they expanded and stay there. This brought up a major red flag.

a 223 bullet traveling at 3,000 fps at close range is going to go through the body even if it was a hollowpoint. This guy is either stupid or was paid off.

Exactly.
.223 is known to overpenetrate.

You're spot on accurate - a .223 round would easily pass through, especially at close range, regardless of the type.

A 223 bullet is designed to fragmet in the body and has considerably less penetraton than a centrefire handgun hollowpoint.
