An Atlanta man says he was a foot from death. David Watkins describes waking up after a stray bullet almost hit him while he was asleep. His CPAP breathing machine was the only thing between the bullet and his head.
"I have sleep apnea and that’s what saved my life," David Watkins said.
That’s not a phrase often heard, but it could not be more true.
Watkins provided photos which show where a stray bullet went through his room.
"All of a sudden, my machine stopped working. I heard a loud noise. In my mind, I thought I rolled over and pulled the plug out of the wall. My boyfriend came in, flipped the light on, and said there was smoke," Watkins said.
It wasn’t the morning alarm or wake-up call Wakins wanted Monday morning.
"He unplugged my machine, and we looked, and there was a hole in the wall. There was a bullet on my bedside table where my CPAP had stopped it," Watkins said.

Never forget. The people [voters] of this Country have worked long and hard to get it where is today. And it is almost where they want it to be. A couple more election cycles.
it will be there. If you think it is bad today. Tomorrow things will be worse.
P.S., there wouldn't be any smoke in the room of a "stray bullet" was fired from outside the room.
I’ve been saying demographics is destiny for years.
All my complaints are considered racist and/or backwards.
I plan to go rural in NH or somewhere similar in the coming decade.

The guy using this supposed incident makes me stop and examine the facts and this guy’s motive. If a CPAP machine was able to stop this bullet with no deformation of the bullet then why wouldn’t this guy’s skull have done the same thing.
This whole incident was staged.
Who writes these semi-literate headlines.
How do you ‘poise’ a bullet?
There might be smoke in the room from an electric device that had just had a bullet tear through it, tho.
Not likely. Electronics quit that when the vacuum tubes and large capacitors gave way to semiconductors.
Hoax.
Oh, just dated myself really bad, didn’t I? 😅 😅
Think you’re old - my first computer was steam-powered!
