That's ridiculous, I saw a photo, and it had one of the bolts in Juliette's neck and the other in her chest. The angle shifting would be seen if they were twisting, but they weren't.

What photo are you referring to?

I would like to see it, because I have seen nothing that shows a bolt sticking in her neck...and nothing that would suggest a 'second shooter' was in the house.

Scout Trooper might be referring to this photo Bitsie Tulloch tweeted.

I've seen some people discuss the theory of there being a second shooter, but there's more than enough evidence to debunk that theory. As seen in the picture to the left, Trubel first fired the Doppelarmbrust bolt that was on top. The second bolt is still on the bottom, not having been fired simultaneously with the first.

You can go back and look at the finale of Season 1, "Woman in Black," to see that the two darts are like two bullets in a gun that can be shot independently of one another. They can also be shot in rapid succession of one another (as in ). When Nick only fired one dart with the Doppelarmbrust at Akira Kimura in "Woman in Black", he was able to dodge it. Later in the scrum between Nick, Kelly, and Kimura, Kimura went to grab the Doppelarmbrust lying on the ground and was moments away from shooting the second dart, but Kelly was able to get to him in time.

Watching the scene of Juliette being shot, you can hear the sound two times of the bolt "release" trigger, coinciding with each bolt striking Juliette. Even though the two shots clearly don't land in the same spot, I referenced the previous examples of the Doppelarmbrust being shot to point out two things: 1) The two bolts aren't fired at the same time. 2) Specifically in, when Nick shoots Stacy Balouzian, he does so in rapid succession, but those shots still hit her a fairly good distance away from each other, and Nick is much more experienced in using the Doppelarmbrust than Trubel. Trubel shot the two bolts with much more time between them than Nick did, so taking all this into account, it's not really unusual where the first and second shots hit Juliette, especially since the first one made her lunge/lean forward a bit before the second bolt hit her.
