    Winding, that's so scary! I'm glad you aren't hurt any worse.

    (((WindingRoad))) That is so scary it's nauseating. I think you should get checked out to make sure there's nothing inside of you, just in case.

    What a world we live in.

    Peace. Please.

    OMG, WR! That is insane. I agree with Red that you should get checked out. I think you should report it to the police, too. If nothing else, they can beef up patrols in the area. Where in the city were you?

    WR, I'm so glad you are ok. I agree with the others, go to the doctors and have them check you out to be certain everything is ok.

    Was there damage to your clothing? If so, maybe the police can tell if it was some kind of bullet or something that hit you. And yes, a police report would be good.

    What about taking pictures of your clothing and injury as part of your documentation? You don't have to show them unless you want to or need to. But down the road if something comes up and you need additional documentation, these could be helpful.

    Feel better soon.

    Oh my goodness, how frightening! I concur, police report and check it out with a Dr. That is far too close of a call, thank God you are ok.

    Winding Road: That sounds very scary. I agree with Red, have it checked out with a doctor and, depending on what the dr says (I assume a dr will reconize a bullet wound), file a report with the police. The one odd detail you mention is that your jersey was not torn.

    The really strange thing is I don't have a hole in my jersey??? I have a hole in my skin and it's really puffing up around that hole this morning. I heard from a fellow rider this morning that he saw the cops stopped VERY near to where I had my 'incident' last night.

    Indy - 62nd and Moller - not the best neighborhood but certainly not the worst either

    I've had my BF check it for me, he's a PT so he knows what wounds are supposed to do when they are clean.

    Air pistol? Hmmmmmm, I'll have to look into that. A metal something had to hit me. I'm guessing it must have hit me square on in order NOT to tear up my jersey? All I know is it hit harder than anything I've ever experience. I've been shot with pellet and BB guns too. It kind of stunned me. If it was a bullet it must have bounced off something else first or I'd be in the hospital. I still think those two cars were arguing or something and some idiot pulled out a gun and shot. There are so many stupid people, sometimes I forget just how many
