Woman survives 6 shots to head(AP)Updated: 2006-11-13 10:45 SAO PAULO, Brazil - A woman was released from the hospital a day after she was shot in the head six times in an attack police blamed on her ex-husband, Brazilian media reported Saturday. Patricia Goncalves Pereira, a 21-year-old housewife, was shot Friday after an altercation with her ex-husband, who was upset because she refused to get back together with him, Globo TV reported. "I know this was a miracle," Pereira told the TV network. "Now I just want to extract the bullets and live my life." Doctors could not explain how Pereira survived the attack. The .32-caliber bullets didn't break through her skull and didn't even need to be immediately extracted, doctors said. Pereira also was shot once in the hand. Police said the ex-husband was still at large, Globo TV reported. |
