Would any of you mind going through the physics of how velocity is slowed of a bullet by going through a shoulder blade?
No, not homework, a curiousity.

Their is no way to calculate that without more information.
Type of bullet
Grain of bullet
Distance
Size of shoulder blade
Etc.

Transfer of momentum and friction
MV1 = (M1 + M2)*V after impact
Presume a 45% friction factor of bullet passing through the bone
1 - Is the bullet
2 - Is the body

@HurtMe Most the slowing of the velocity comes from transfer of momentum

When a bullet enters a shoulder blade, part of its energy will be absorbed by the shoulder blade, slowing it down.

{@hurtme] maybe for forensics value yes

And two people are shot?
