Two self-inflicted gunshot wounds directly through the cranial cavity approaches near impossibility. A gunshot wound to other parts of the head might not be instantly self-incapacitating. It would be incredibly interesting to know more details about what exactly happened, here.

I was unable to find any other details of this case, or of other cases of multiple self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head.

I'm not sure that's the case. A second round consciously fired would be practically impossible, sure - but if the person is using a semi-automatic handgun (the most common type) and their finger muscles contract automatically upon the disruption to their CNS, I can totally see a second round being fired.
