After shooting a woman in the neck, the bullet hit the man in the leg

A man has been killed in Texas by the same bullet with which he shot a woman.

The incident happened on July 30 at around 11:30am in Dallas.

The man, identified by police as 26-year-old Byron Redmon, was hit in the leg by the bullet which he fired. He later died in hospital.

In a tweet about the incident, Dallas Police Department said that when they arrived at the scene they “could see a large amount of blood and a blood trail in front of an apartment” but that no one was inside.

They then received a call from a local hospital informing them that a man and woman had been found in a vehicle with gunshot wounds.

In a follow-up post, police added: “The preliminary investigation determined at the apartment, the male, Byron Redmon, 26, shot the adult female victim in the neck.

“The bullet then exited and hit Redmon in the leg. Redmon died at the hospital.”

It is unclear how exactly the bullet managed to hit Redmon, how the two victims knew each other or what led to the shooting. The investigation is ongoing.
