Bold and Comic Sans MS added by me. There's shrapnel from the bomb inside the building, obviously then there are not just marks on the ceiling but holes in the roof. It's more then likely the reporter would assume you would know that there would be holes in the roof not just in the ceiling. Or the reporters definition of ceiling is different then yours. A 5.56mm round isnt suddenly going to stop at the ceiling of a house anyways, obviously there's going to be holes in it. The article also doesn't mention any otopsy findings, either they conflict with his story, he doesnt have them, or they werent done. Personally I would assume that if shrapnel from the bomb got in the houses that some of the civillian deaths were from the bomb and not from the insuing fire fight.
