Autopsy: Slain North Carolina Student Leader Killed by Shotgun Blast

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (Fox News) — The slain student body president at the University of North Carolina likely raised her right arm to protect herself from a single shotgun blast that tore through her hand before striking her in the head, according to an autopsy report released Monday.

Eve Carson was shot four other times, according to the report from the Office of the State Medical Examiner that simply lists her cause of death as "multiple gunshot wounds." The 22-year-old from Athens, Ga., was found March 5 lying on a street not far from the university's campus.

Prosecutors have charged two Durham men — Laurence Lovette, 17, and Demario Atwater, 22 — with first-degree murder in her death. Lovette and another man are also charged with the January murder of Duke University graduate student Abhijit Mahato.
