Pensioner tells of shears-in-eye ordeal

An 86-year-old man has spoken of how he amazingly cheated death after being impaled through the eye by a pair of pruning shears.

Leroy Luetscher, of Phoenix, Arizona, had just finished trimming plants in his back garden when he fell face-first into the shears, sending one of the handles through his right eye socket and halfway into his head.
