OSHAWA, Ont. -- Police say a woman out for a night of dancing didn't realize she had been shot in the chest until hours later -- when she noticed she was bleeding.

Police say the victim, in her 20s, left the club Friday night unaware of anything wrong, but later had trouble sleeping.

She eventually noticed she was bleeding from the chest and went to hospital yesterday morning. Police say she is in good shape and was able to walk in to the hospital.

Investigators are trying to trace back the night's events to pin down where the woman was when she was shot.

"It's not like in the movies where you get shot and you fall down," said Durham police Insp. Dave Morrissey. "You could get hit by a small calibre bullet and not know it."

But investigators say there's no doubt the woman was shot. Police have confirmed she was hit with a bullet and not a pellet.
Good God! Was she just high?

One would think she would have noticed blood, or at least the hole, on her clothing, when she undressed for bed.

There's dumb, there's really dumb, and then there's this woman.

I sliced my finger on my CPU cooler the other day and didn't notice until later when I noticed blood all over everything, so I don't think it's unreasonable for something like this to happen. It's probably rare though. I do know it's not the first time I've heard such a story. Add alcohol into the mix and it becomes even less surprising.

I've read about this before with other people. I guess if you shoot the right person in the right spot there is no feeling of pain or pressure. I don't care how many drugs you did last night, being shot is not going to be a pretty thing to deal with. Truly this is mind over matter.

But there is quite a difference between a quick slice and a bullet burrowing its way into you.

I know - I sliced my finger on a case two years ago, and like you, didn't feel it until I saw the blood. But there's a reason bullets go so fast.
