UNC Student Body President Tried To Shield Herself

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - An autopsy report released today concludes
that University of North Carolina student body president Eve Carson
tried to shield herself with her hand as she was shot five times,
including at least two blasts to the head.
Carson's body was found in March on a street not far from the
campus in Chapel Hill.
Prosecutors have charged two young Durham men with first-degree
murder in the case.
The autopsy report had been completed weeks ago but was sealed
until today. Prosecutors say it shows both a handgun and a shotgun
were used in the attack. They are searching for the weapons.
In court documents released last week, authorities say a
confidential informant told police that the suspects entered
Carson's home through an open door and took her to an ATM. They
ended up withdrawing about $1,400 over two days.
The informant also said that both suspects shot Carson.
