We sought to describe their distinct, challenging features and provide demographic and risk characteristics. We reviewed 228 gunshot wounds autopsied at Mayo Clinic from 1994 to 2014; of these, 75 (32.9%) were shotgun wounds. All were suicides and contact range. Ages ranged from 14 to 92 years old; of these, 97% were men. The majority involved the head (70.9%), were intraoral (48.2%), and had upward (73.2%) and backward (73.2%) directionality. Next most common was the chest (21.5%), with backward (94.1%) and downward (64.7%) directionality. Four involved multiple wounds. Wadding was recovered in 16 (21.3%) cases. Six (8.0%) had a survival period. Most (66.7%) took place at home. Seventy\u2010one percent had a known psychiatric history; 32.4% had positive toxicology. Although contact range shotgun wounds cause severe destruction, entrance wound and other characteristic are identifiable with thorough scene, autopsy, and radiographic documentation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1556-4029.12946","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,9,29]],"date-time":"2015-09-29T16:16:54Z","timestamp":1443543414000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Suicide by Shotgun in Southeastern Minnesota"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"Melissa M.","family":"Blessing","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Anatomic Pathology Mayo Clinic 200 First Street S.W.
