Reply #8: Mob guy shot 6 times in the head and lived [View All]

[DonP]

We had a mob guy, Ken Ito I think his name was, shot six times in the head with a .22 about 15 years ago. (The mob's favorite weapon for a hit so I hear)

The bullets all traveled under his scalp and never penetrated the skull. I guess they entered at a shallow angle of attack. He was left for dead in a restaurant parking lot and lived to testify in court and put some mob big wigs away.

I guess he figured he didn't have much to lose at that point and I'm sure witness protection looked pretty attractive under the circumstances.

The two guys that botched the job were found buried in shallow graves in a cornfield in Indiana about a month later.
