Man Sleeps So Soundly He Doesn’t Find Out About Bullet In Head Until He Wakes Up

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – A man slept through being shot in the head Sunday morning, and didn’t realize his noggin had been noodled until he awoke nearly four hours later and noticed blood coming from his head, according to the Cabell County Sheriff’s Department.

A small-caliber bullet struck Michael Lusher, a 37-year-old Altizer man in the head as he slept Sunday morning.

The bullet that struck him was one of five that someone sprayed across his mobile home and truck at about 4:20 a.m. Sunday, McQuaid said. The one the struck Lusher apparently lost velocity as it traveled through two walls.

“We’re just glad he didn’t suffer any life-threatening injuries with a head wound,” he said.

Lusher came home from a night on the town about an hour before he was shot while lying in bed, McQuaid said.

He remained hospitalized at St. Mary’s Medical Center on Monday.

His condition was not immediately available.

• This story’s further proof that everyone, no matter their age, location or income, and despite protestations from hair stylists everywhere, should only sleep while wearing a bullet-proof helmet.
