There's a rumor that the latest shot was .22 (that is, .22 short or .22LR), not .223. .22 hollowpoint is pretty common. Most cheap .223 seems to be military surplus and thus FMJ, but .223 hollowpoint is not unknown. Any bullet can fragment, though; you can't say for sure it was a hollowpoint unless you recover the bullet.
