Officials said the gun slid off the grill, hit the ground and fired a bullet in and out of Scott's neck.Emergency workers who responded to the scene were amazed that Scott survived after they noticed the bullet traveled straight through his neck, near his spine and all major arteries and veins."He's very, very lucky," Clackamas County sheriff's Sgt. P.J. Steigleder said. "It doesn't appear that he lost consciousness."Brandon Scott was airlifted to a hospital, where he is expected to recover.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
