I dont think it came straight back.
My thought is that it hit the plate went straight up, and spun like hell. When it came back down, the way it was spinning caused it to "bounce" back at the shooter. i.e. where it hit the 15 feet in front of him.
You can hear the ricochet after it hits the plate, and the delay is MUCH to long for it to have come straight back. And it comming straight back... I cannot see that happening, as well as it would have made a hole in his head if it could somehow come straight backwards. It arched up into the air for a little while before comming back at the shooter.
That is my take on the event.
