A Bullet That Reached Its Target Years Later

Henry Ziegland thought he had dodged fate. In 1883, he broke off a
relationship with his girlfriend who, out of distress, committed
suicide. The girl's brother was so enraged that he hunted down Ziegland
and shot him. The brother, believing he had killed Ziegland, then
turned his gun on himself and took his own life. But Ziegland had not
been killed. The bullet, in fact, had only grazed his face and then
lodged in a tree. Ziegland surely thought himself a lucky man. Some
years later, however, Ziegland decided to cut down the large tree,
which still had the bullet in it. The task seemed so formidable that he
decided to blow it up with a few sticks of dynamite. The explosion
propelled the bullet into Ziegland's head, killing him!
