Sean Lien, son of Taiwan's former Vice President Lien Chan, was shot in the face about 10 days ago during a campaign event in Taiwan. The shooter used a Sig pistol in 9mm. I have no more detail about the ammo. Initial news reports were that the shooting resulted in a contact wound just under the jaw line and that the bullet went through Sean Lien's left jaw bone, transverse upward through the face to a point just below the right temple where the bullet exited, then striking a person in a wheelchair who it killed. The initial reports (in Mandarin) said that Mr. Lien had 300 broken bones in his face. {let's put a "???" right there}
At the time of the shooting, Sean Lien's father's only remark was that perhaps this shooting would cause voter's to support his party. {another ???}
As he was carried off with this supposedly devastating face wound, Sean Lien held up the "V" sign with his fingers. {???}
Two days later, the press reported that Sean Lien was recovering well, walking around and eating a sandwich. {No effing way! ???}
Sounds to me like there is a rotten kettle of fish here. I cannot imagine any face wound other than a graze mark resulting in such a quick recovery. If there were photos, x-rays or anything else to work from I would post them, but Mr. Lien's representatives (from the KMT political party) have refused to release anything more.
