FL: Woman survives 13 gunshot wounds, lives to talk about it

[seamusTX]

In Lee County, Florida (Fort Meyers area), Wednesday, a woman was shot 13 times in a drive-by shooting.

She was shot two times in the left thigh, four times in the left calf, two times in the right calf, one time in the right him [sic, probably should be hip] and four times in the right arm.

She was treated at a hospital and was able to talk to investigators. No motive or suspect has been identified. The victim apparently has some legal problems.

No mention of caliber, but 13 wounds!

From the facts provided, I think we can reasonably suspect the answer to the caliber question would be described as "small."

More and more 'news reports' contain no information except that which is sensational (13 shots is, in my view, sensational). I don't know why they even bother to report stuff like this.

She was under "house arrest" at the time of the shooting. Pay back time?

I thought all guns were AK-47's to the media...

Not to mention "fully automatic".

A pregnant Fort Myers woman was shot 13 times. Amazingly, she survived, and is recovering....

....Her mother suspects there was a motive behind the shooting.....

Another example that proves it's not how many times you shoot someone but, where you shoot them. If you don't hit a major blood vessel, central nervous system, vital organ, or do damage to major skeletal structures they just keep going and going.
