Are we sure the that is not just a pic of an XDm sucking all on its own?

(I kid, I kid....)

So, I guess 9mm round traveling down .40/.45 barrel? I cant imagine a 9mm projectile going down a 9mm barrel on momentum alone, without the gas pressure to force it.

I wonder if they knew he was a cop and that's why they targeted him or he was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

On my phone, I can't make out anything that appears to be the copper jacket. It may have sheared it off when it hit the crown. The article doesn't mention caliber, but the recipient looks to be .40

When used by robbery perps, it's spelled "Fo-tay". Just so you know. ;)
