Florida woman survives gunshot between the eyes

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23914454/


Emergency room doctors apologized to the 42-year-old woman who had come in for treatment for staring at her in disbelief. It wasn’t every day — in fact, it was never — that they saw somebody with a large-caliber gunshot wound between the eyes who not only was alive, but wasn’t even unconscious or seriously injured.


Incredible.......and a .44

So she and her husband just politely rolled the windows down to see why the cars wanted to run them off the road and kill them.

No kidding.

At that point, I think the only thing going through my mind would have been: “It’s the skinny pedal next to the brake.”

She does appear to be quite the heavy duty gal. But to take a hit at that range from that caliber…wow.

Nothing said as to why the confrontation started in the first place. I wonder if maybe there are some eggs involved here that they aren’t telling us about.

Maybe the shooter tried to make home-made cross points with a hack saw. I could imagine the tip shattering then, although it STILL would be time to go buy a lottery ticket.

I like that. The husband pulled into a convenience store parking lot. Was he picking up some Twinkies for the trip to the hospital?

Those Florida people are a hard-headed bunch . . . .

Bullet probably got shattered when it came close to her face. Looks like the bullet has some pride. Better to commit suicide than to get stuck too far in that face.
