Either that or someone was just plain a bad old shot!Occam's Razor dictates that divine intervention is a more plausible explanation...
Years ago I knew a man - featured on America's Most Wanted for killing his ex-wife. As I got to know him under an assumed name I found him to be just that sort of person - someone who would shoot someone just because they were having a bad day. He shot himself in the stomach. Thinking he would die - on his death bed he confessed. Survived. Then went to prison for the rest of his life. He was already 70 when I knew him. Come to find out he had been on the run for 14 years. Justice may be slow; but it usually comes full circle. - - - Shooting himself in the stomach couldn't have been any more "Point Blank". Yet he lived. Much to his dislight.
