Bullet lodged in mom’s cheek from random shooting on I-10

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — In spite of a swollen cheek that’s bruised and throbbing with pain, Aurora Viesca wanted to tell her side of the story.

“I never thought this would happen (to me),” she said.

She said it’s by the grace of God that she’s here after getting shot in the face Sunday afternoon.

“The hole is right here and the bullet is right here,” she pointed to the wound.

We first told you about a family whose vehicle was hit on I-10 coming from Beaumont. Their car window was shattered, but luckily, no one was injured. However, at the same time, near the Lockwood exit, Viesca’s vehicle was also hit.
