When Simons began to walk away, Diez shot at him, Splain said. The bullet blew a hole through the outer lining of Simons' helmet and went straight through both sides of it, but he was not hit. This is scary stuff - I have enough problems with threats from wing- mirrors, opening doors, large wheels, dogs, pot-holes, errant pedestrians etc, without drivers being armed (Once again I am thankful that hand-guns are illegal here). But I am intrigued by... ?A matter of an inch or less in either direction would have meant that bullet could have easily killed Mr. Simons,? Splain said. ..."_either_ direction".... I just can't quite picture that, unless Simon's head is a very peculiar shape. --Mike It went through his ears? |

Maybe it went between the lobes of the brain (forehead to back of skull), like this woman? (By the way, a few epileptics have brain surgery to disconnect the two sides of the brain to limit seizures.) http://www.sanfranciscosentinel.com/?p=23601 |
