From: Rusty�Bullethole, [EMAIL PROTECTED] >From: Jonathan Spencer, INTERNET:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >BBC Ceefax reports (25/4/00) that a twelve year old boy in Hartlepool is >undergoing emergency surgery to remove a pellet from his head following an >airgun attack near his home. There is no report of any arrest being made. >The story appeared in _The Northern Echo_. He had a circular wound in >or above his left eyebrow. I imagine it may have been deflected >downwards and into the eye. All he had was a slight black eye. It >wasn't emergency surgery as it waited until at least the next day. >Depends what you mean by 'emergency' I guess. To me it means life >saving, to the NHS it may mean 'in a timescale measured in days, not >years'. Maybe I'm just a cynic? The police investigation has been wound down since the boy has coughed to having shot himself accidentally - bet we don't see that on the front page.
