Re: Boy Shot in Head at Football Game
I was shot accidentally in the neck with a .177 caliber copper BB when I was 15 years old. It made a very odd hole that stayed a hole for several days, but it didn't bleed very much. The hole closed by itself a couple of days later, but never scabbed...it just closed. Well, flash forward a few years. When I was 20, I went through my police medical exam and was given a chest x-ray. The doctors were confused by the strange little round dot that showed up high on my chest...it was the BB. I couldn't believe that damn BB had actually entered my neck and after five years had worked it's way down into my upper chest. It's kind of funny, but it still shows up on chest x-rays even today. Thank God it was a copper BB and not a lead pellet. By the time I'm in my nineties maybe it'll have worked it's way down into my testicals. |

Re: Boy Shot in Head at Football Game
An 11 year-old was rushed to a hospital after being hit in the head by a rifle bullet.The boy was on the bench in a stadium, waiting to replace a colleague in a game of rugby in the town of Chester - le - Street, Durham, England. Bleeding profusely, Connor Minto ran toward he’s parents thinking he had been hit by a stone. However, his father realized that this was a rifle bullet that was lodged in his forehead, near the left eye. The boy was helped to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Newcastle, where the bullet was removed. According to the Daily Mail, Connor received stitches in the wound site and was released. According to the mother of Connor, after the episode, which happened last Saturday (15), the boy is afraid to leave the house. “Physically, he recovered from the incident, but mentally he's scared. He's afraid to leave and now he sticks to me or the father," says Kerry Minto. Also according to the Daily Mail, three 14 year old, who may be related to the shooting, were arrested and are being investigated. “He’s worried that the shot was directed specifically to him. He knows that the police arrested people, but also know that they are no longer trapped at the police station," Kerry said.
