Patricia Goncalves Pereira (javascript:siteSearch('Patricia Goncalves Pereira');), a 21-year-old housewife, was shot Friday after an altercation with her ex-husband, who was upset because she refused to get back together with him, Globo TV (javascript:siteSearch('Globo TV');) reported.

"I know this was a miracle," Pereira told the TV (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,228863,00.html#) network. "Now I just want to extract the bullets and live my life."

Doctors (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,228863,00.html#) could not explain how Pereira survived the attack. The .32-caliber bullets (javascript:siteSearch('.32-caliber bullets');) didn't break through her skull and didn't even need to be immediately extracted, doctors said. Pereira also was shot once in the hand.

Police said the ex-husband was still at large, Globo TV reported

We saw this at Grady (Atlanta for the non-Atlantan sleuths) three or four times. The cartridge was usually a .25 or .32 and the ammo was old, poorly constructed, or both. Some bullets would get under the skin at the forehead and angle around the outside of the skull, exiting at the side or back of the head. Quite freaky....
