Sleeping through a gunshot

Michael Lusher of Huntington, West Virginia was asleep yesterday morning when a bullet hit him in the head. He woke up four hours later surprised to see blood dripping from his skull. From the Associated Press:

The bullet that struck him was one of five that someone sprayed across his mobile home and truck at about 4:20 a.m. Sunday, (Cabell County police officer R.H.) McQuaid said. The one the struck Lusher apparently lost velocity as it traveled through two walls.
