It’s not often someone can be shot in the face and end up with only a nosebleed, but that’s what happened to a man in Clallam County, Washington, outside the town of Sequim. While sitting in his backyard, a man felt a sharp stinging blow to his face and got a nosebleed. As it turns out, the man was shot in the nose by a stray bullet that went a half-mile off course. Fortunately, it was only a .22 that the man’s neighbors (on the other side of a forest) were using to shoot clay pigeons.
The man was struck on the bridge of the nose by the bullet, which had descended at a steep angle from where witnesses say a woman and two men were shooting skeet. Fortunately, the guy shot in the face was treated and released, relatively unharmed by his experience. How often can you say you got shot in the face and checked out of the hospital that same day? Usually, accidental shootings are much more tragic.
