Ok you probably won’t believe this one, but an Ohio family is calling the accidental shooting a “Christmas miracle” because it might have saved the victim’s life!
Watch below:
Here are the details from the NY Daily News:
Charlene Ross’ 77-year-old husband told authorities the shotgun went off Sunday at their home in York Township, in northeast Ohio, when he was checking to see if it was loaded. He told deputies he was getting the gun from a closet because he wanted to use it to scare off geese from a pond on their property.
Ross was taken to an Akron hospital, where she was listed in serious condition Friday.
Steve Ross told The Medina County Gazette his family considers the outcome “a blessing on two fronts” – that his mother was nicked in the neck by only one tiny pellet and that doctors then discovered she had an abnormal heartbeat, or arrhythmia, that can be dangerous and now can be addressed with a pacemaker.
“Had this accident not happened, my mom could have been gone at any time,” he said. “You hate to use cliches, but this is a Christmas miracle.”
That’s right, guns don’t kill people, guns help diagnose previously unknown health problems!! Who needs Obamacare when we have GunCare?!
