Cheney shotgun victim expected to spend week in hospital
The lawyer shot by US Vice President Dick Cheney during a hunting accident is expected to stay in the hospital for about a week after suffering a mild heart attack when a shotgun pellet in his chest travelled to his heart.
Harry Whittington, who was moved back to the intensive care unit yesterday after the heart attack, will be watched to make sure more metal pellets do not reach other vital organs, hospital officials said. The 78-year-old was reported to be in stable condition.
