Rio de Janeiro, January 23: A 21-year-old Brazilian man who believed a stone had struck him at a New Year's Eve party was shocked to discover a gunshot lodged in his skull. Mateus Facio was partying on a Rio de Janeiro beach in Brazil when he felt something strike him, but when his head stopped bleeding, he shrugged it off, according to the New York Post. Facio didn't even realise how bad things were for him, as he spent the following four days partying and having fun with friends.
The 21-year-old remembered, "Little did I know that all this would happen," according to the local media. "I thought it was a stone, a bad joke, that someone picked up and threw a rock," he said. I could see what the sounds could be if there was one. However, I didn't hear anything, and everything was perfectly normal, the Brazilian student of medicine said.
