Man Wakes Up With a Bullet in His Tongue

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Police say a man who woke up with a serious headache walked 12 blocks to a hospital with a swollen lip and powder burns. Doctors discovered the problem. 47-year-old Wendell Coleman had a bullet lodged in his tongue.

Coleman told police that a woman stuck a gun barrel in his mouth during a dispute around 2:30 Tuesday morning and that he heard the gun go off.

Police say Coleman then went home to sleep.

What authorities did with the bullet wasn't clear last night.

What I would like to know is if he heard the gun go off, and it was in his mouth, wouldn't he have known he had been shot? Nah - let's just go to sleep instead.

I'm curious as to what drugs he was taking for him not to feel that he had been shot.
