Man survives freak bullet aided repair job
Published: June 10, 2005
Clayton County police were investigating after a man suffered a wound to the neck during what appears to have been a freak accident involving a bullet, authorities said.
Rescue workers were called shortly before 11:30 a.m. to a strip shopping center on Ga. 42 just outside the gates of Fort Gillem.
The victim, whose identity was pending, was rushed for medical treatment to Grady Memorial Hospital. His condition was not immediately available.
An unidentified woman who was with the man told police that the man was trying to repair a faulty speaker wire and was using a .22-caliber bullet to do so.
At some point, the man ended up with a piece of the wire in his neck.
The couple tried to drive to the hospital but experienced problems with their vehicle, which is what prompted them to stop near the fort and call 911.
