Arthur B. Alphin is well acquainted with the trigonometry of terror. The retired Army lieutenant  colonel and West Point graduate, who has a mechanical engineering degree and specialized in ballistics, has testified in many multiple-shooting cases.

Once the trigger was pulled, simple laws of physics and trigonometry sealed the fate of more than 500 people who would fall wounded in the ensuing fracas — 59 of them fatally. “He had a huge area of three, four or five football fields
