Abstract

Firearms are the weapons responsible for increasing number of violent deaths in our society and such fatalities require thorough medico legal study. A retrospective study was conducted to elicit the firearm inflictions resulting in deaths of the persons in Bahawalpur. Total 214 autopsies were carried out in between the period of 01-01-97 to 13.12.1999 in which 76 cases were of firearm inflictions. 88.3% cases were of homicidal in nature, 6.9% of accidental and 4.6% of suicidal in nature. In most of the cases the regions involved were trunk and head.
