Tammy Sexton, 47, was shot in the head by her husband, Donald Ray Sexton, at about midnight the night of April 13, 2009. Donald Ray subsequently killed himself. Tammy survived being shot in the forehead and even made tea for herself while holding a rag to her head.
Some Tea with Your Shooting
Police were looking for Tammy Sexton's husband because they had a restraining order to give him - one which told him to stay away from his wife. However, they didn't find Donald Ray Sexton before he got to his wife. As a relative ran to a neighbor's house to call police, Donald Ray Sexton shot his wife point-blank in the head, then went outside and shot himself.
But when cops got to the house, Tammy Sexton answered the door holding a rag. "What's going on?" she asked. She made herself a cup of tea and offered the policeman something to drink.
Apparently, the .380-gauge bullet passed between the lobes of her brain without causing serious damage. A neurosurgeon confirmed that there is a small place where a missile could pass without causing major damage, but "It would be rare."
