There was a RPD (Rochester Police Dept.) officer a few years ago who got shot in the head with a .22 by some kid. The officer survived albeit with some minor brain damage making it difficult to walk.

I remember reading a story (not gun-related) about, IIRC, a man who had a spike driven completely through his head and came out with only slight personality changes. The human body is amazingly resilient.

Here is a picture of the then-current events, (5 years after)

*The bullet can be seen in the skin in the top-right of the X-ray.

The man told police he remembered taking a blow to the head "in 2004 or 2005" but did not get medical help and forgot about the incident because he had been "very drunk".
Well,he must have been very packed and loaded
