Okay, so maybe these injuries were a bit more serious than the vice president’s office has let on.
Katharine Armstrong, the fundraiser-eyewitness, told the AP that the gunfire “broke the skin. It knocked him silly. But he was fine. He was talking. His eyes were open. It didn’t get in his eyes or anything like that.”
But more than a day later the victim, Harry Whittington, is still in the intensive care unit at a hospital in Corpus Christi.
That notwithstanding, the guy who runs the hospital says you can barely even tell the guy is injured. From the latest AP update …
“He is stable and doing well. It was almost like he was spending time with me in my living room,” said hospital administrator Peter Banko, who visited Whittington.
Banko said Whittington was in the intensive care unit because his condition warrants it, but he didn’t elaborate.
Now, there’s only so much you can infer from a guy being in an ICU. But being there for more than a day I think means you were seriously injured, doesn’t it?
