Man accidentally kills himself after bullet he fired at a woman bounced back and struck him

A Texas man accidentally killed himself after a bullet he fired at a woman rebounded after exiting her body and struck him in the leg.

Authorities discovered massive amounts of blood splattered and a trail in front of an apartment they were called to Saturday morning around 11.39am. The apartment was located in the 2200 block of Medical District, the Dallas Police Department said.

As police investigated the bloody scene, they found no one inside or around the apartment.

A second call came in to authorities that a man and woman were found in a car outside a nearby hospital with gunshot wounds.

The preliminary investigation determined at the apartment, the male, Byron Redmon, 26, shot the adult female victim in the neck. The bullet then exited and hit Redmon in the leg. Redmon died at the hospital.

Investigators say that the man, Byron Redmon, 26, shot the woman in the neck. That bullet then exited her body, miraculously rebounding before hitting him in the leg. Redmon died at the hospital that day, according to WFAA.

The woman, who has not been publicly identified, was treated and released the same day.

The preliminary investigation is still underway, police said. It’s unclear what led to the shooting and whether Redmon and the woman knew each other beforehand.
