Sorry to hear about your misfortune. But bro...that looks a lot like a BULLET hit. I'd get the police to have a look. A windshield can stop a bullet.

Just the other day a woman in Florida had been hit, while in a car, by a bullet. Fortunately the windshield slowed it down enough and when it hit her seat belt at shoulder level...it bounced off her...but she felt it hit hard.
