More than 100 bullets remain in the young girl’s body after a four-hour surgery. According to Huang Bin, a senior nurse at the ICU of Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, the girl’s gunshot wounds spread across her ribcage to her right arm and abdomen. The steel bullets also affected her heart and liver.
“The bullets are relatively small air max 97 blanche pas cher , and move even without much force. More surgery could cause additional damage to the child’s body. Some [of the bullets] can stay inside if they do not affect her organs,” Huang noted, adding that the girl is also being treated for tetanus in case any of the bullets cause the infection, the report explained.
Xiaoximei’s mother said the family chose not to call the police because they are acquaintances of the boy’s family, and know his parents cannot afford expensive surgeries.
Chinese citizens are not allowed to possess guns without formal approval. Violators can be sentenced to up to seven years in prison, noted Hunan-based lawyer Xiong Lin air max 97 rose pas cher , adding that the boy’s family could be held criminally accountable if the gun was found in illegal possession.
