When someone gets shot, the initial reaction would probably be to call 911. But apparently, not everyone does this - as evidenced by rapper Teriq Royal.
According to Uproxx, the Compton rapper was allegedly shot with an AK-47 rifle, although no reports have confirmed the type of gun that was used.
On Wednesday, Teriq Royal posted a Facebook status recalling the incident:
"Yes me and the homies got shot at couple days ago. AK47 bullet flew past my head and I was hit with the bullet fragments, 3 frags stuck in my forehead for life. They stopped right on my skull before they could enter my brain...
"GOD IS REAL YALL!
"I should've died that night but I felt God move me back just enough for the bullet to miss. Take this life shit serious! I was almost on a T-shirt. I'm just blessed enough to be here for a reason, can't nobody stop Gods plans."
Before taking himself to the hospital, Teriq Royal actually recorded a video of himself with blood dripping down his face and the aftermath. He then posted the video on his Facebook page about the occurrence, also on Wednesday:

Not only that, he also posted a photo of the x-ray of his head. Its caption read, "3 bullet fragments resting on my 3rd eye for the rest of my life."
