Police: Man shot 15 times walks into emergency room

PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia police say a man who was shot 15 times walked into a hospital emergency room and is expected to survive.

The shooting unfolded early Friday in the city's Kensington section.

Police found 23 spent shell casings on the scene, but no victim. That's when word came about a gunshot victim at a hospital.

Police Chief Inspector Scott Small says the 27-year-old is in critical condition, but is expected to survive. Small says it's "pretty miraculous."

His name has not been released.

Authorities are checking surveillance video for possible clues.

No arrests have been made.

Whoever wanted him dead can't shoot for shit.

Terminator?

Isn't there some anecdotal saying like, if you've been shot, you have a 90% chance of surviving if you're still breathing when you reach the hospital?

 

[Coda]

Terminator?

That's it!!! It was actually a scene from the new movie.

 

[Eric H]

Terminator?

In that case, Sarah Connor isn't finished with him yet.

It's not anecdotal, I looked it up once by FBI/DOJ stats, less than 4% of gunshot wounds are fatal overall. I looked at raw data, not a study.

Raw data included self inflicted 'cleaning accidents' and whatnot, but if you are hit with lead, it's less than 4%. Basically if a gun went bang and you got hit. I wish I could find the data again, but I'm not that enthusiastic to dig in again.

Even this very left leaning paper reports ~10% survival. The research was done at UC Davis and Duke. No idea what they considered a 'gunshot' is, I didn't read that deeply into the article.
Gunshot wounds are just as deadly as always, despite data claims to the contrary

What are the stats for people who have been shot 15 times?

What are the stats for people who have been shot 15 times?

I'd say they are usually part of the 4%, even getting hit in extremities 15 times is bound to hit an artery. I'd run out of tourniquets.

We are hard mother f***ers here, it still gonna hurt when it rains.

I remember a case Ayoob wrote about where some lady got shot 5 times with a .45 and drove herself to the hospital... if the hits aren't good, lots of people can become a bullet tampon.

but 7 rounds is all you need according to NY!

 

[commodon]

I once had to walk three blocks with a rock in my shoe.

So, man, I know how he feels...

 

[m_n_x]

Botched suicide.

15/24 isn’t half bad.

 

[shootymacshootface]

Bruce Willis could, no problem.

 

[richc]

Was he shot with a paintball gun?

 

[StevieP]

NYC police are on the loose in Philadelphia?

 

[general disorder]

That's because it must have been a 9mm. . No stopping power. Two rounds with a 45 he would no longer be on this planet. If it was a 10mm he would have never existed!

15/24 isn’t half bad.

much better than the average cop shooting

 

[Andy in NH]

Senior Chief Petty Officer Douglas "Mike" Day (SEAL)(Ret.) was shot 27 times and walked to the helicopter.

He knows the Clintons?

 

[exo]

Did he have to wait outside first while he finished a Newport?

 

[exo]

He knows the Clintons?

c’mon... Hillary has a way better kill ratio than that.

Play That Number " ! ! !

 

[MaverickNH]

That's why I carry a G17

 

[Brewer]

Probably all in the gut with few or none in the heart/lungs. A cop told me of a case he saw where an assailant was gut shot 9 times, then peacefully surrendered and spent only one day in the hospital.

Gangbangers seem to care as much about grouping as they do holsters and trigger discipline.

 

[Lucas McCain]

65% hit rate. That's a D. Barney Fife shoots better than that!
