Inside the Atlanta bedroom where British scientist was shot dead

Seen for the first time, this is the catastrophic trajectory of the stray bullet that struck and killed British scientist Dr. Matthew Willson as he lay in bed with girlfriend Katherine Shepard in her Atlanta apartment.

The 31-year-old astrophysicist had been in the US barely two days when, on Sunday January 16, he was hit in the head by a round fired amid a 'rapid' and 'reckless' volley believed to have come from an apartment complex less than 200 feet away.

Now, with these exclusive pictures, DailyMail.com goes inside the room that should have been Willson's haven for the next three months, but instead turned into the scene that housed his deathbed.
