A Charlestown man is now counting his lucky stars after he woke up yesterday morning and discovered a bullet lodged in his television stand a few feet from his bed.
James George, 46, of Lot 10 Howes Street, Charlestown, Georgetown stated that he woke up around 8:30am yesterday morning and proceeded to do his normal Saturday morning routine cleaning around his home.
George said that he first decided to wipe his windows and that is when he noticed a long graze on the window, a graze that was not there before he noted.
George said that he did not take the graze for anything serious since there would normally be children playing in the area. He thought one of them may have pelted a brick.
Not paying much attention to the window, he proceeded to different areas in the home.
It was while wiping the television stand he observed a dent and then he saw what appears to be a bullet lodged in the television stand.
George said it was then he decided to sit on his bed and try to sum up the entire situation. That is when he realized that the bullet lodged in his television stand was the object that caused the indentation in his window.
“I thank God that bullet did not hit the television, because is only last December I took that television from Courts.”
The man who has been residing at the address for the past two years stated that when he observed the bullet he immediately began to pray and he thanks the Almighty father for saving his life.
“Imagine my bed is right next to the window and that bullet could have hit me and kill me. God had to be with me.”
George said that it’s a good thing that his children were not at home when it happened because it might have been a different situation.
