Florida woman shot in face by .45 caliber bullet while watching New Year's celebrations.
Of course, this being the USA, we have: "An investigation determined that the bullet came from someone who fired into the sky to ring in the New Year."
"The bullet destroyed Ruby Cintron's eye and became lodged in her skull behind an eye socket. Doctors said removing the bullet means removing her eye, which is already destroyed. Cintron, who does not have health insurance, was forced to leave the hospital Tuesday because she cannot afford further care for her injuries,"
"Since Cintron is not a U.S. citizen, she does not qualify for aid"
And what are they doing about finding the person respondible?
"Police hope the person who fired the shot will turn themselves in to authorities."
