A man from Texas was fatally injured after he was struck by the same bullet he had fired at a woman, police said. According to a statement shared by <a href="https://dpdbeat.com/2022/07/31/shooting-at-2200-medical-district/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Police Department</a> on Sunday (July 31), officers responded to a late Saturday (July 30) report of a shooting at an apartment complex in the Medical District near Bengal Street. The department said that they found "a large amount of blood and a blood trail" but no one was in the apartment when officers arrived at around 11:40AM. During that time, police also received another call from the nearby Parkland Memorial hospital that a man and woman were found in a car suffering from gunshot wounds.

It was also not confirmed whether the pair knew each other or the motive behind the deadly incident, but Dallas police said that an examination of the apartment indicated that the same bullet ricocheted from the woman's neck wound into Redmon's leg. "The preliminary investigation determined at the apartment, the male, Byron Redmon, 26, shot the adult female victim in the neck," a police statement read. "The bullet then exited and hit Redmon in the leg. Redmon died at the hospital." <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/2022/07/31/man-fatally-shoots-himself-injures-woman-in-dallas-medical-district-police-say/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Morning News</a> reported that the female shooting victim - who is currently unidentified - survived the shooting and was treated and released from the hospital on the same day. According to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11069373/Texas-man-shoots-woman-die-bullet-exits-neck-hits-leg.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>, bullets can often change rotation when it comes into contact with the human body because the effect of organs and bones grips some of the bullet's energy - compelling it to take a different course. However, low-caliber rounds, such as the .22 cal ammunition that matches with a range of firearms such as rifles and handguns, are understood to have their trajectory changed upon exit. This causes them to rebound, and "bounce" around the body. Police have confirmed that the investigation into the incident is continuing, and have not determined which firearm Redmon used in the shooting. <h6>Featured image credit: Mike Voss / Alamy</h6>
