BERLIN — A Polish man living in Germany went about his business for about five years without noticing he had been shot in the head because he was drunk when it happened.

Police in the western city of Bochum said on Tuesday doctors found a .22 caliber bullet in the back of his head after the 35-year-old went to have what he thought was a cyst removed.

Presented with the 5.6mm projectile, the man recalled he had received a blow to the head around midnight at a New Year's party "in 2004 or 2005", but had forgotten about it because he had been "very drunk," a police spokesman said.

"He told us he remembered having a sore head, but that he wasn't really one for going to the doctor," the spokesman said.

The wound later healed around the bullet and it was not until the man decided to have the lump examined due to recurring pains that the discovery was made.

Police said they were not treating the incident as suspicious as the bullet might have got lodged in the man's head when a reveler fired a gun in celebration.

"It may have been a shot fired up in the air which entered his head on the way down," the spokesman said.

The resident of Herne, who has lived in Germany for several years, was expected to be released from hospital later this week after the bullet was removed on Friday, police said.

 

5 Years later..?

Dam lagger...

 

He must have been lucky.

 

He must have lost his memory since he got shot in the head and is just now remembering.

 

Weed is helluva drug

 

Ya... or not... definitely not unless your a noob =\

 

no because he was drunk...

 

He must've been drinking the good shit.

 

Epic lulz.
He must be intoxicated on a regular basis, how could you not feel that when you lie down, or find blood?

 

He must have been fucking trashed.

Epic

 

yeah haha, the man recalled he had received a blow to the head around midnight at a New Year's party but thats it.

 

I heard this on the radio, I don't think he was directly shot, I think they said someone shot a bullet into the air and it hit him when it came down. Still crazy though, but he said he was drunk.

 

Craziest thing I ever heard. Wow.

 

didn't he ever get a haircut or put his hand on his head?
how do you not realize it *facepalm*

 

oh that explains alot, cause a .22 right to the head should kill you lol

 

lol. Lagger? ;D

 

Even if the bullet was shot into the air the momentum gained from coming down surely must of killed him. Never watched 1000 ways to die!?

 

when a bullet comes down below from up above the force is going to be more negative and has a higher potential to inflict more rate casualty then if the bullet hit the target from being shot out of the gun.

 

Jesus Christ.
Pass that shit?

 

They proved that theory wrong on Mythbusters...
I will try and find a link for you

Edit:
Found this on the official Mythbusters site.

In the case of a bullet fired at a precisely vertical angle (something extremely difficult for a human being to duplicate), the bullet would tumble, lose its spin, and fall at a much slower speed due to terminal velocity and is therefore rendered less than lethal on impact. However, if a bullet is fired upward at a non-vertical angle (a far more probable possibility), it will maintain its spin and will reach a high enough speed to be lethal on impact. Because of this potentiality, firing a gun into the air is illegal in most states, and even in the states that it is legal, it is not recommended by the police. Also the MythBusters were able to identify two people who had been injured by falling bullets, one of them fatally injured. To date, this is the only myth to receive all three ratings at the same time.
