Medical examiner changes autopsy in teen slaying

By
ATLANTA - A Fulton County medical examiner has revised his autopsy report in the police shooting death of an Atlanta teenager. <br> <br> Doctor Michael Heninger said yesterday he revised his report about the likely path of the shot that killed Corey Ward after reviewing photographs of the body. <br> <br> Ward&#39;s family has said the original autopsy report cast doubt on Atlanta police accounts of the shooting. Police say Officer Raymond Bunn fired at Ward in Atlanta&#39;s Buckhead district July 14th as the teenager drove a sport utility vehicle into the officer. <br> <br> The autopsy report now says the 18-year-old died from a bullet that traveled ``slightly front-to-back&#39;&#39; through Ward&#39;s head. The original report said the bullet traveled ``slightly back-to-front.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Heninger says it&#39;s NOT unusual to review reports or to make changes. <br> <br> A spokesman for Ward&#39;s family says the family is ``deeply disturbed&#39;&#39; by the change.
