National Autopsies: A third of Pulse nightclub victims shot in head
By Mike Schneider?|?AP August 9 at 5:32 PM
ORLANDO, Fla. — More than a third of the 49 patrons killed during the Pulse nightclub massacre were shot in the head, and most of the victims had multiple bullet wounds, according to autopsy reports released this week.

Only two victims had traces of soot, gunpowder or stippling, meaning most of the victims were likely more than 3 feet away when they were shot in the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The autopsies show that about half of the victims had five wounds or more

And, why hasn't the person that made the decision to make sure he was able to shoot people in the head not in prison?
