Just happened while slurping some coffee, to watch a few minutes of ''FBI Files'' on TV. Rare I get to watch anything, let alone what I want to see!
A mob (and hit man) guy in Philly, back in 80's or so I think, who had ''gone over'' to help Feds and had been wired a few times, went to a meet to get instructions for a new ''book-keeping'' job - read ''collections''!
He was not wired that time but - one other guy went to bathroom (ostensibly), picked up a small .22 taped to underside of flush tank - and came back in, proceeding to fire three close range shots at this guy's head!!!!!!!
The guy get's up and is still functional and proceeds to go at the shooter, with a knife IIRC.
Bottom line was - three head shots with .22 and he lived. Two weeks later he was out of hospital and still helping the Feds gather up all the mobsters.
It is well known that the .22 can be very lethal - it's a fave for hit men but seems here was a classic case of bullets tracking round inside cranium along bone and not doing major cerebellar damage.!
Freaky perhaps but - astonishing too - I mean, THREE shots.
Shucks. Wish I had a link.
