Man Wakes Up With a Bullet in His Tongue

Tue Jun 21, 6:11 PM ET

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Police say a man who woke up with a serious headache walked 12 blocks to a hospital with a swollen lip and powder burns. Doctors discovered the problem. 47-year-old Wendell Coleman had a bullet lodged in his tongue.

Coleman told police that a woman stuck a gun barrel in his mouth during a dispute around 2:30 Tuesday morning and that he heard the gun go off.

Police say Coleman then went home to sleep.

What authorities did with the bullet wasn't clear last night.

The sequence of events doesn't exactly add up.

If I ever get shot in the mouth, I don't think immediately going home to sleep will be high on my list of immediate priorities.

Definitely very stranger behavior. Sleep wouldn't be on my list either but how come the bullet didn't go through his toungue?

Maybe it was a .22 :D

Wow, I have to agree. Sleep wouldn't be on my list either. It's amazing that it didn't get lodged in his brain or something.

I don't think he realized that he was shot.

Even with a .22 rifle, the bullet should have thru his tongue.

Maybe he had a rack full of 14k and it bounced around once or twice and then lodged in his tongue.

Other possibilities: Genetic mutation or lots of kissing left him with amazing tongue muscles.

This is not good publicity for the gun manufacturer.

Or a .22 pistol. The lowly .22 is often seen as less than a gun, but if I'm not mistaken, more people are killed each year by a .22 than any other caliber. When shot into the chest, they fragment and bounce around a lot. Nasty. But cheap to shoot. :thumbup:

I say he just bit the bullet.
