Shot at a reasonably close range, it would seem. Certainly no .303 (or any other round) I've ever heard of. Should have blown his head clean off.
I'm reminded of a report of an nonagenarian who tried to off himself with the revolver of his youth. The bullet of the ancient cartridge lodged in his ear.
It's definately a long for caliber rifle bullet. I don't know why the penetration was so limited. Maybe it hit something before hitting the man? Maybe a wood blank or reduced power round? Glad he's alive. Too bad he lost vision
Appears that the entry was the wound above his right eye. Looking at the imagery, the bones at the bridge of his nose are demolished. He's gonna have a stuffy nose from now on.
I'm guessing .303 British Mk VI.
Th bullet doesn't seem deformed enough to have hit something else, but it sure wasn't doing 2500fps when it hit this guy in the face. Something slowed it down. Whether it was a defective round or a junk gun, who knows.
Guy is lucky not to have a new vent in his head.

Government office attracts the power-mad, yet it's people who just want to be left alone to live life on their own terms who are considered dangerous.
History teaches that it's a small window in which people can fight back before it is too dangerous to fight back.
The point seems flat and almost mushroomed, so perhaps it went through something substantial like a 2x4 or whatever first (....but during a 'robbery'...???).
Anyway, it doesn't look like fun.
Doctors for Sensible Gun Laws "first do no harm" - gun control LAWS lead to far more deaths than 'easy access' ever could.
