 seven bullet holes.s It is believed. how

 missiles were located by the surgeons
 who operated upon Ami and all are
 believed to have passed out of his
 body, though there is a possibility that
 one may be lodged inside his cheek.
 The man. at whose back the bullets
 were fired, was shot in the shoulder.
