In a surprise development today, an outdoorsman was shot in the face and the Vice-President was not involved.
EUGENE, Oregon (AP) -- A snorkeler who was shot in the face after he was apparently mistaken for a swimming rodent was in good condition after surgery, a hospital said Saturday.
John William Cheesman, 44, of Springfield, underwent eight hours of surgery Thursday to remove bullet and bone fragments from his face, said his wife, Shelley Cheesman.
It is believed that Vice-President will spearhead the diplomatic attempts to get Cheesman to apologize to the alleged shooter for swimming in his line of sight.
