Florida man's headache mystery solved by a bullet

A Florida man awoke with a severe headache and asked his wife to drive him to a hospital, where doctors found a bullet lodged behind his right ear, sheriff's deputies said.

The wife, April Moylan, fled the emergency room when the bullet was discovered but later told deputies she had accidentally shot her husband as he slept early on Tuesday. She was jailed on a weapons violation charge while deputies pursued additional charges.

Ouch!

I've had headaches so severe that I wouldn't be surprised if there was a bullet in my head. I've even considered putting a bullet in there myself, if only I could find some sort of "smart bullet" that would just wreck the migraine section of my brain without doing something drastic like, you know, killing me. So, I understand him thinking he had a horrible headache and wanting to go to the ER.

What I don't understand is, how does that not come up? How do you accidentally shoot someone and not mention it? Did she think it was just a coincidence that she shot her husband in the head and then he woke up with a headache? I think there's more to this story than the wife is telling....
