Puppe’s Rule
It states that if multiple gunshot or blunt force trauma wounds are present it is possible to establish the sequence of shots/hits.
When two fracture lines meet at same piont then second fracture line will never cross first fracture line.
A fracture will stop when it hits another fracture (fractures travel faster than bullets). Therefore, if one fracture hits another one and then stops, the fracture where it stops must have come first.
