Now, 11 years later, Acevedo went to the hospital to have doctors remove what he thought was one bullet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But doctors found a second round.<\/p>\n
The first, larger bullet had slowly moved from Acevedo\u2019s skull to the surface and began to erode the skin, so doctors had to remove it. But as they removed it, they discovered a second, smaller one next to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe took one main bullet out, and there was this tiny little one underneath and a couple of little fragments of bone chips, which was grazed by the bullet at the time of injury,\u201d Acevedo\u2019s neurosurgeon, Kyoo Ro, told the News-Press.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Shallow-resting bullets can migrate to the surface of the skull, he said, because the metal is ragged and can be rubbed when a person lies on a pillow.<\/p>\n
Acevedo\u2019s April 1 surgery was relatively minor, requiring a small incision and a day\u2019s worth of bed rest at Glendale Memorial Hospital before he was released.
