All shot-up

The guys are really fired-up to go see a Wild West Show, a roadside attraction over in Jersey. Here's a recent news item:

An actor at New Jersey's Wild West City, shot in the head during a fake gunfight on July 7th, came out of a medically-induced coma on Friday. According to local news reports, Scott Harris, 37, was said to be responding to some stimuli and was able to keep his eyes open. He remains hospitalized.

The shooting incident occurred two weeks ago Friday, during the Sundance show, one of the several scheduled simulated gun battles on the main street of the tourist attraction. Performer Harris was injured and later found to have an object lodged in his forehead that had been tentatively identified as a small caliber "bullet."

Oh really? The "object" has been "tentatively identified" as a "bullet"? Ya don't say? Why not just say the guy was shot in the head? How else did the bullet get there?

Local authorities initially had trouble determining exactly which state agency has jurisdiction in fake gunfight safety procedures (this is New Jersey's sole Wild West town).

Doesn't seem like it was a fake gunfight, does it?
