Shot above his heart was 24-year-old Navy veteran Nick Romano. The police bullet exited his back. His spleen was removed at the hospital.

Funny anatomy.........

Just like funny math.......

To #39: I know how the reporter wrote that he was shot in the spleen above the heart.

The victim was standing on his head, trying to fire his shotgun, when the police shot him in the spleen, which was then above his heart (i.e. upside down to its true position). I’m not sure if they teach anatomy to reporters anymore.

Baltimore used to have crime beat reporters. Today the Sun and whatever else is left, have “’porters”, just like a man with a wrench and a plunger is called a “plungger”.

I stopped writing for Baltimore papers many decades ago. The good ones had disappeared and the “Sun” had already set in the West regarding being anything of journalistic worth.

Just hope the vet recovers to good health.
