Woman Shot In Eye Finishes Beer Before Accepting Medical Treatment

Woman Shot In Eye

First Posted: 01/05/12 04:00 PM ET Updated: 01/06/12 12:41 PM ET

Talk about one for the road.

The Winnipeg Free Press reports that authorities found a 30-year-old woman who, after being shot in the eye, refused to accept any medical treatment until after she finished her beer.

"It was like she was oblivious to what had happened," one source told the Free Press. "She didn't want any treatment until after she finished her beer."

Though the woman survived the incident, the woman's friend, 46-year-old Michael Warren Sinclair, was shot dead.

According to a neighbor who spoke with the Winnipeg Sun, the home in which the shooting took place was a hotbed for illegal activity.

"There's always troubles down there," the resident, who did not want to be identified, told the paper. "Cars are coming and going like God damn flies down there. It's been like that for years."

The news comes one day after a woman bodybuilder from Nevada miraculously survived being shot in the head during a carjacking.

When I drink beer, I prefer doing it with both eyes! The beer goggles fit better!

Doesn't sound like the type of girl to bring home to meet the parents.

Do you know how expensive beer is? Factor in the money for gas to get beer...

Screw that. If there was ever a time for a good drink, that seems to be it to me.

I think she was just a beer aficionado who was keeping an eye out for a good brew.
