An 11-year-old girl was hit by a stray bullet while horseback riding at a rural farm in Tennessee, WSMV-TV reported.Allie Nadeau was in an enclosed area with her riding instructor when she was shot in the buttocks, according to the station.
"Another inch higher, she could have been paralyzed," horse trainer Wren Fraser told WSMV-TV. "Another few inches higher, she could have been down on the spot."
Doctors said Nadeau will survive and have decided not to remove the bullet because it will cause more pain for the young girl.
I assume by "enclosed area" they mean and indoor arena. And by indoor arena I assume they mean the bullet had to travel through some sort of wall before it reached the girl's so-called buttocks. It irks me that they don't followup on the story by saying that it was something like a stray hunter's bullet or they just flat out don't know where it came from
Hmm, I hope I don't get hit by a stray bullet while riding any time soon. I don't think that would be too much fun
