Özet

Yedi yıllık bir süre içerisinde Antalya'da ateşli silahla ya¬ralanma sonucu meydana gelen ve otopsisi yapılan 133 ölüm olgusunun raporları incelenerek: yaş, cinsiyet, orijin, atış mesafesi, silah cinsi, giriş-çıkış deliği sayısı ve özellikle¬ri, iç organ hasarları açısından değerlendirildi. Olguların %78.95'i erkek, %21.05'i kadındı. Ölümlere en sık 21-30 yaş grubunda rastlanıyordu (%30.08). Cinayet ori¬jini %66.92'lik oranla ilk sıradaydı. Uzak mesafeden yapılan atışlarla meydana gelen ölümler olguların yarısına yakınını oluşturuyordu (%46.62). Ölüme sebebiyet veren silah, olgu¬ların %55.64'ünde kısa namlulu ateşli silah olarak değerlen¬dirildi. Olgu başına düşen ortalama giriş deliği sayısı 1.49 olarak bulundu. İsabet en fazla kafa bölgesineydi ve beyin en fazla hasara uğrayan organdı.
