“Hit in head by bullet”
What an odd way to say shot in the head
“The pedestrian was involved in a collision with a vehicle”
By using the passive voice you can just flip the subject around and not even mention the other party
maybe someone just threw a bullet at him?
The earth’s orbital speed around the sun is 67,000 miles per hour. So this is really gravity’s fault.
Its an attempt to avoid the implications that come with the phrase “Shot in head” - that makes it sound like he was killed when a bullet penetrated his skull in that unique bullet-y way. What appears to have happened was that he was hit in the head by a 40mm rubber baton round when he went to move because he and his team were being gased and flashbanged by the Israeli army, and he was in critical condition.
I think the phrasing is rather awkward but not malicious.
(Also of important note, this article is more than a year old, from before the start of the imprecisely named current conflict, the “Israel-Hamas war”.)
The gun, obviously.
“Guns dont kill people, Israelis kill people” isn’t catching on as a slogan nearly as quickly as I had hoped.
