Was she also complaining about rotten oranges?

Do they sell guns at the market (some do)? must try before one buys.

In which case I'd sue the arse off the hospital... as from the photo the bullet wound is in her left thigh !!!

Unless that's just a previous injury?

Often the camera photos are 'reversed'. 

I would have thought that a .22 calibre bullet would have done more damage, or was it in fact a .22 pellet?

 

On second thoughts it could have been from a poorly made home-made gun??
