"A German man shocked hospital staff by walking into an emergency ward with a bullet embedded in his head.

The 32-year-old, who hasn't been named, took a taxi to a hospital in Ratingen after he was shot.

Hospital staff called police, who interviewed the man.

He told them a visitor at his flat had suddenly turned a gun on him.
The man was taken to a specialist clinic in nearby Dusseldorf, where surgeons successfully removed the bullet.

A special police unit later arrested the alleged attacker, the Express newspaper reports.

My 6yr old nephew dug up a grenade in his backyard a few years ago. The police said it was a miricle that it didn't go off when he beat it with a shovel. He then took it and gave it to his father who almost passed out when he saw what it was.
