Woman in Car Struck by Bullet
Posted By J.T. on November 9, 2009
A Kansas City woman was driving in rural Cass County last week when she was struck by a bullet, probably fired from at least a mile away by a .30-caliber rifle.
From The Kansas City Star:
The bullet zipped over fields and pasture from the south as Long’s car traveled west from her aunt’s house. The two would meet at a point on 307th Street at precisely the same instant.
Not only that, Long’s driver-side window was down six inches or so and the bullet was at the perfect trajectory to enter the opening as she drove past that point at 40 mph.
The slug tore through her cheek, exited her mouth, then plopped onto the floorboard of the 1998 Ford Taurus.
“Looks to be a .30-caliber,” said Cpl. Kevin Tieman of the Cass County Sheriff’s Office. “We did a follow-up with neighbors out there but so far haven’t found anything.”
He said he thought the bullet lost some of its velocity due to the distance it traveled.
