Indians For Guns

On Friday, Aug. 22, Brammer was working the morning shift at City Laundry and Cleaners in Manning, S.C., when a man came in who said he wanted to rent a tuxedo. Less than an hour later he returned with a gun. After cleaning out the registers and store safe, the robber ordered her into the back of the store and told her to lay down face-first on the floor. He told her he wouldn’t hurt her.
Then he shot her in the back of the head.

The robber left her for dead, but Brammer wasn’t. Through a remarkable stroke of providence, the bullet hit the base of her skull, where the bone is thickest. X-rays show the bullet flattened against fractured bone — a millimeter or two shy of penetrating her brain.

very luck girl.

The bullet might have been hollow point that disintegrated when it hit the skull.

I wonder what caliber was the bullet !!!

Next time someone calls anyone of us a 'thick-skull', maybe we should regard it as a compliment

Probably a rimfire... cannot imagine a centre fire not penetrating (all the way to the brain) at that sort of range... unless it was a .25 ACP or something similar... After all the piddly little .32 S&W Long is used in "cattle killers" and cattle have wayyy thicker skulls than any of us....

Abhijeet,

Unless I am very much mistaken, .22 Short has been used to dispatch cattle at point blank range.

I feel very sorry for the lady that was shot and I hope the son-of-a-b**ch who did this has the same done to him.

Quite a few years ago we had a similar case when a cab driver was shot in the back of his head with a .25 ACP, muzzle pressed against the head. According to the police officer investigating the case, the victim was lucky to have the gun pressed against his head, because "that way the bullet couldn't reach full velocity". Always thought that was a good one, intelligence obviously not being one of the selection criteria for this profession. Cheers.
