“Had this accident not happened, my mom could have been gone at any time.” That’s the conclusion of Steve Ross (above) after his 77-year-old father, Boyd, shot his mother in the neck. As nydailynews.com relates, the elder Mr. Ross touched off a shotgun blast inside his home “when he was checking to see if it was loaded.” One pellet of bird shot struck his mother, Charlene, in the neck sending her to the hospital. That ER visit is where they discovered Mrs. Ross’s irregular heartbeat. As Steve proclaimed, “You hate to use cliches, but this is a Christmas miracle.” God bless us, everyone.

  2. “Thank me for shooting you in the neck. It may have saved your life.” That’s really turning a frown upside down.

  3. he was checking to see if it was loaded.

    Don’t leave us hanging — was it loaded or not? The same question applies to Boyd Ross. ‘Cause only a drunk or a total mor0n would check a gun by pulling its trigger.

  5. I should shoot all my family and friends in the neck to see if they have any medical conditions.
    BRB…
    <bang> <bang> <scream>

  6. Hallelujah! This is why you don’t use 00buck in the house…you suppose he had a shot & a beer?

    • “I’ve had the bullets of my shotgun medically coated for the fastest possible delivery of life-saving medicine.”
      “Great idea, sir! We can just shoot him until he’s healthy again.”

  8. So the moral of the story is to shoot someone to get them to check for other conditions? Very very bad advice…

  10. The real tragedy here is that someone felt the need to go to the ER for one pellet of birdshot.

    Toughen up Grams.

    • In the neck… Could have hit an artery or the windpipe, spinal cord, spine.
      All of those are serious business.

  11. Interesting.. God always gets the Miracle credit when it comes to skirting death.. But had this been a death, God wouldnt have been any where around.. My sunday school teacher doesnt have an answer for it either.

  12. “the elder Mr. Ross touched off a shotgun blast inside his home “when he was checking to see if it was loaded.””

    *epicfacepalm*

    you don’t check to see if it is loaded by pulling the trigger, dumbass.

    • If only idiocy affected just the idiot and not the bystanders around them, life would be so much better.

  15. There are multiple types of irregular heartbeat and they can be caused many different factors. Congenital defects, heart disease, injuries, addictive substances, other medical conditions. Even medication to treat one type of irregular heartbeat can cause another type of irregular heartbeat, believe it or not.

    Even without knowing anything more about this person’s medical history, we do know that she’s 75 years old and that advanced age is a known risk factor for irregular heartbeat. I’d bet she hasn’t been seeing a family physician for regular check-ups, or even just an annual physical. Had she been, this condition would have easily been discovered and promptly treated.

    This negligent discharge isn’t so much a one-time blessing in disguise, as it is some reckless people pushing their luck, repeatedly.

  16. Howdy! I understand this is kund of off-topic however
