Mississippi woman shot in head, just fine

[toreskha]

This isn't something you see every day.

A deputy was greeted by the woman when he arrived minutes after she was shot with the slug from a .380-caliber handgun.

Byrd said the bullet apparently passed through the lobes of the woman's brain without causing major damage. She was rushed to a Mobile hospital by a helicopter.

While such cases may be rare, a neurosurgeon who wasn't involved in Sexton's case said such an outcome is possible. Medical journals also confirm people have been shot in the head with little or no lasting injury.

"There is a space in the brain where a missile could pass without doing any major damage. Is it possible? Yes. It would be rare," said Dr. Patrick Pritchard, an assistant professor of surgery at the University of Alabama-Birmingham.

That's why I won't buy a .380

OK, seriously... that is pretty amazing. Nice to see an attempted murder/suicide turn out to be just a suicide.
