Florida man shot in head, complains of headache

Posted 10 hours 53 minutes ago
A Florida man woke up with a severe headache and asked his wife to drive him to a hospital, where doctors found a bullet lodged behind his right ear.
"The nurse looked at him and said, 'It appears that you've been shot,'" the Fort Pierce Tribune quoted St Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara as saying.
"And he said, 'No way.'"
The man's wife, April Moylan, fled the emergency room when the bullet was discovered but later told deputies she had accidentally shot her husband as he slept early on Tuesday.
She was jailed on a weapons violation charge while deputies pursued additional charges.
The husband, 45-year-old Michael Moylan, woke up with a head pain so severe he suspected he was having an aneurism and asked his wife to take him to the emergency room.
Police arrested the wife after obtaining a search warrant and finding a gun and bloody rags in the couple's home near the Atlantic coastal town of Port St Lucie.
The husband is in hospital in stable condition.

Two things here:

1) Yeah, she shot him "accidentally". In the head. As he slept.

2) "St Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara." I really enjoy that combination of words.

"What are they saying?"
"I think they want Reggae."



Yeah. Accidentally shot him. And I'm an accidental Reds fan.

He must be a sound sleeper if he didn't wake up to a gunshot.

If she shot him in the head in an attempt to kill him (don't know why else you would shoot someone in the head), then why did she turn around and drive him to the hospital to get help?

Cause he asked her to. Perhaps she wanted to avoid suspicion. Although if she wasn't trying to kill him, what the heck was she doing with the gun in the first place?

I hate when my gun accidently goes off......

Yep. She wanted to avoid getting charged with attempted murder. Luckily, it looks like Sheriff Mascara's boys weren't so easily fooled.

Maybe if she just woulda thought about baseball her gun wouldn't have gone off accidently.

Why not shoot him a second time?

Or would that blow her "accidental" shooting story?

"Well, the gun went off accidentally the first time. When my husband woke up, I told him about the accident, and he wanted me to show him how it happened, so I did."
