Nonimmigration Story — The Truth is Stranger Than Fiction

By immigrationprof

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (CNN) — The fellow hunter who was shot and wounded by Vice President Dick Cheney has suffered a minor heart attack after a piece of birdshot migrated to his heart, a hospital spokesman said Tuesday.

Harry Whittington, 78, is in stable condition in intensive care and will remain hospitalized for up to seven days, hospital officials said.

“Some of the birdshot appears to have moved and lodged into part of his heart … in what we would say is a minor heart attack,” said Peter Banko, administrator at Christus Spohn Hospital Corpus Christi-Memorial.
