Can a gunshot wound have the same entry and exit point?

Question

I have read that the possible causes of lack of exit wound is when the bullet is still lodged inside or when the entry and exit point is the same. How can a bullet enter and exit the same point?

Sure, a bullet can bounce off a bone: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-10-25-me-54554-story.html

> “The bullet didn’t enter his skull and the shot to his chest bounced off his breastplate bone,” said Sgt. Charles Evans of the LAPD’s Foothill Division. The man was treated for superficial wounds at a local hospital and released, Evans said.
