A Miami woman initially counted herself blessed for having survived a drive-by shooting with what she alleges a doctor told her was just a graze wound. But days later Shakena Jefferson was rushed to a trauma center where an X-ray confirmed she had been walking around with a bullet lodged in her head, according to her family.

We'll see if we get more information and if it does come to that then obviously there will be an additional charge that we can add," Colome said."As of now, we don't have enough to determine that. We're not discarding it, but we don't have enough right now to definitely make that an additional charge.
"The guy must have had an automatic weapon because I can still hear the gunshots in my ears, 'Pop, pop, pop, pop.' It wouldn't stop," Medley told ABC News.
