Talk about being in the wrong spot at the right time. Laughing

Army veteran who had never been shot ends streak outside car dealership.

Quote:

ELK CITY, Okla. - A bullet fired from a police gun range hit a military veteran as he stood outside a car dealership almost a mile away, officials said.

“It felt like someone hit me with a ball bat or like a bird struck me in the side,” said Bill Bolechala, who had served 24 years in the military including a stint in Vietnam without being wounded.

“I was wiping my left side because it kind of hurt, and when I looked down, I had blood all over me,” he said.

Bolechala was treated at a hospital after being shot Tuesday and was released later in the day. He said the doctors left the bullet in his side, between his ribs and hip, but will remove it if the wound becomes infected.

That in itself is a bit more retarded than the guy surviving a devastating war and getting shot at home, lol
