Woman Will Likely Live With Bullet In Head
A Central Florida woman who was struck in the face by a stray bullet while watching New Year’s Eve fireworks will likely be forced to live with it lodged in her skull, according to a Local 6 News report.
Investigators said Ruby Cintron was standing on the north shoreline of Crooked Lake in the Highlands Lake subdivision off Hiawassee Road after midnight Sunday when she was hit near the eye by the .45-caliber bullet.
An investigation determined that the bullet came from someone who fired into the sky to ring in the New Year.
The bullet destroyed Cintron‘s eye and became lodged in her skull behind an eye socket. Doctors said removing the bullet means removing her eye, which is already destroyed.
Cintron, who does not have health insurance, was forced to leave the hospital Tuesday because she cannot afford further care for her injuries, according to the report.
