Contact gunshot wound to the eye. Note the lacerations of the eyelid and eye globe with soot deposition at the adjacent skin and within the wound track. No backstory. A contact shot is defined as a gunshot wound incurred while the muzzle of the firearm is in direct contact with the body at the moment of discharge. Contact shots are often the result of close range gunfights, suicide, or execution.
