A Brazilian woman is attacked by her desperate husband who shoots her six times in the head. And once in the hand but who cares. None of the shots to her head even broke the skull or seriously needed to be removed.

Damn, what kind of magical magic happened there? Was she really that thick headed or did her husband have the crappiest .38 ever?

Another of God's Miracles.

But I do believe the woman lived because she was using Mozilla Firefox.:fluffle:

He was using a bb gun, he had to have. this isnt possible.

Maybe he was using that little swiss revolver that shoots a bullet smaller than a BB...

They did penetrate the skull, so I guess she was just very lucky there.

Actually, he was using a .32 . He may as well have been shooting at her with a over-pumped BB gun. I am happy to see the woman will recover from her injuries.

Imagine the look on his face though...:D

Super powers!

It's going to leave one hell of a welt though. I would sue either the gun manufactures or the bullet manufactures.

I'm sorry maybe I missed something, didn't the article say, "Doctors could not explain how Pereira survived the attack. The .32-caliber bullets didn’t break through her skull and didn’t even need to be immediately extracted, doctors said. Pereira also was shot once in the hand."

Am I just missing the difference between the word penetrate and the phrase " break through". Hmmm ...I always thought they were rather synonymous.

Regardless she's a very lucky woman, indeed.

wait.. you are right, but so am I.. unless Pereira did not know the bullets were not in her head..

“I know this was a miracle,” Pereira told the TV network. “Now I just want to extract the bullets and live my life.”

rofl.. the article condradicts itself

I know this incident was horrible, of course, but somehow it keeps reminding me of the opening scene of Bad Taste. I can't stop imagining her slowly shambling towards him with a fire axe, while he's blasting away and thinking, "Man, even zombies drop from headshots!"

It seems Brazilian women can be famous for something other then their asses. :D

Hard heads and fine asses.

What more do you need in a woman?

And I thought the people in my family had hard heads.

Milk! It does a body good! :)

Does she smoke cess? I noticed she's 21, and seems to be single... she should call me. :D

He needs to clean his gun.
Was she Black?
They have thicker skulls...

Depends, was she drunk?

No I think she meant she wanted them removed from where they were embedded in her skin not that they passed through her skull

Depends, was she drunk?
I don't know, probably running her mouth off though.:p

BAH!

If you really want to kill a woman, you should shoot her in part of her anatomy she actually uses!


*runs away to avoid forthcoming beating*

You know, I'll betcha he was getting pissed off by her constantly putting her hand up and saying "Talk to the hand!" That's why he shot her in the hand. Then he goes and shoots her in the head in the hopes of shutting her up for good.

I can imagine the look on the man's face. It'd just like Agent Smith from the Matrix when they see Neo rise from his 'death' and proceed their collective agent butts.

"No, it can't be! I killed you!"

If the man had used a proper gun instead of a .32 he would at least have killed her...

And stylish murderers don't need guns, sharp-edged weapons are so much more fun ... *evil*

Not nessecarly. The bullets may be lodged in her skull, but not gone through all the way

I wonder if that defense would work in court?

Only in the kind of court where the judge shouts "STFU noobs" instead of "Order"

It's going to leave one hell of a welt though. I would sue either the gun manufactures or the bullet manufactures.

Why would the firearm or bullet manufacturers be liable for this woman's injuries? Because their product was used in an illegal manner? The manufacturers have no control over their products after it leaves their facility.

No, silly, because the product failed to work as advertised. Sheesh!

Hell, under Australian law, they might even have a chance. There are implied conditions regarding "fitness for purpose" in a contract for the sale of goods here...and without going into too many details, I reckon that man might have a case.

Yay, a uni course actually taught me something!

If I had control of the courts, they'd be kicked out... literally. Illegal action= no case.

.32s aren't exactly a military killing pistol caliber - that's why they use a 9mm.

Hmmm...maybe the bullets only got lodge in her skull, but didn't completely penetrate.

The bullets were like "just let me freak on it, I promise I won't go in"...

Maybe it was a miracle. Maybe bad marksmanship, or crap equipment. In any case a cause for celebration.

IDDQD FTW!


or as Jay Leno said Last night...

Man that would be Rober Blake's Worst Nightmare! :D

The sad part is, I've heard things exactly like this before....

I believe the bullets penetrated the skin but they failed to break through the bone and cartilage(sp.?). It's not that confusing, unless you are a pedant.
