Study: More than half of pets overweight
MEMPHIS, Jan. 22 (UPI) -- A Memphis, Tenn., man was enjoying his weekly Friday ritual of watching "Jeopardy!" with his son when he was struck in the back of the head by a bullet.
The bullet traveled through a double-glass window at the home Don Hall, 62, shares with his wife and pierced his skull while he was watching the game show with his son, Michael, the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported Tuesday.
"It sounded like a firecracker," said Michael Hall, who works as a respiratory therapist. "My dad grabbed the back of his head and started crying in pain."
"He was bleeding, and he said 'Something's broken inside my head,'" he said.
Don Hall was admitted to the hospital in non-critical condition and released Sunday -- with the bullet still inside his skull.
Police told the family the shooting is believed to have been random and they are investigating.
Michael Hall said his father, who was raised only blocks from his current home, is considering leaving the neighborhood.
