(CNN)A Texas lawmaker is lucky to be alive after an apparently stray bullet hit his head during a New Year's celebration early Sunday, authorities said.

State Rep. Armando "Mando" Martinez, D-Weslaco, said his wife had just given him a kiss shortly after ringing in the new year with family and friends, and the next thing he knew, "it felt like a sledgehammer hit me over the head."

A bullet fragment had just punctured the top of the south Texas legislator's head.
Martinez said he had just stepped outside a home in a rural neighborhood north of Weslaco when he was hit.
Martinez, 40, was transferred to the neurosurgical unit at Valley Baptist Medical Center in Harlingen, where surgeons removed the bullet fragment. The fragment had penetrated his skull and lodged itself into the dura mater, the top layer of the brain, doctors told Martinez.
The fragment appears to be from a .223 caliber round, said Martinez, who spoke to CNN by phone on Sunday while recovering at the hospital.

Bump for justice

If the first thing you do is anything but mentally preparing for Alex Jones than you need to leave this thread.

I'm not ready for the autism that is about to happen.

>cnn
I'm so sick of this shit.

>retarded Mexican shoots gun into the air
>This has something to do with open carry

You can defend it by reading the constitution

Let me guess - this was 100% Mexicans. No actual Americans involved.

>open carrying is legal
>shooting negligently into the air is illegal
>someone shoots negligently into the air
something bad happened so you have to rewrite the laws how I want now :^)

why mexicans ? could also be some leftard driven insane because of Trump.

>Armando Martinez

>Mexicans can just go to the US and legally carry guns on Texas.

Didn't know that, I'll give it a try later, I want to feel free at least once in my life.

Weslaco is covered in mud people. 90-95% chance they were Mexican

But was it really a 'stray' bullet? Or was it a attempted assassination by a GOP enemy such as a Dem sympathizer?

>Hispanic or Latino of any race were 83.76% of the population.

In Texas? With a gun by the sounds of it.

Texan here. Just wait until I find the son of a bitch who missed.

Texas is full of Mexican Americans and their descendants

>legally
When have mexicans worried about the legality of anything they do?

this is why kek created burgers

We do care once we are at the other side of the border, harsher penalties and risk of being banned from the country.

Unless you are some kind of narco or something like that of course.

Yeah, a Mexican, like he said

ALERT. TEXAS AUTHORITIES ON THE LOOKOUT FOR MAN IN PIC RELATED SAID TO HAVE BEEN SEEN FLEEING THE AREA HAVING BEEN HEARD YELLING "WHOOPS."

Idiot Texans

A Chicano at most, not a Mexican.
Unless one of our bullets crossed the border and penetrated the man.

Texans are pretty based, they voted for Trump and are not afraid of anything.

>stray car hits lawmaker, barely escapes death
better ban cars, huh

>stray exploding office chair hits lawmaker
better ban office chairs

what the actual fuck man, it was a stray bullet; an accident, calm the fuck down

>Weslaco, TX
>'Mando' Martinez
>New Year's Eve celebration
>this was 100% Mexicans.


simply this. white people don't.

>Texas is full of Texicans, Mexicans, Americans, and their descendants.

ftfy mexbro

boo fucking hoo I got shot 3 times on the way to Checkers for my daily burgers, didnt stop me in the slightest

Found an image of the shooter

I don't believe you

>some lefty was so mad he fired a bullet on a mortar trajectory to kill a GOP legislator
not sure if trolling or genuinely retarded...

>State Rep. Armando "Mando" Martinez, D-Weslaco
>Armando Martinez, D-
>Martinez, D-

He has to go back.

You aren't allowed to fire into the air in celebration in Texas. It is considered unlawful weapon discharge.

All this proves is that, yet again, criminals don't follow laws.
