hard to believe.

A Mississippi woman who was shot in the head not only survived but made herself tea and offered an astonished deputy something to drink, authorities said Friday. Tammy Sexton, 47, remained hospitalized three days after being wounded by her husband, who killed himself after he shot his wife. A bullet struck her squarely in the forehead, passed through her skull and exited through the back of her head, authorities said.
what are the odds of this happening, i wonder?

I saw that yesterday. Nice of her estranged husband to save us a lot of time, energy, court costs, corrections expenses and kill himself.
