Blu-ray May Be Tough, But Standard DVD Is Bulletproof

After eating breakfast at a local breakfast at a local restaurant, McRoy was just leaving when he was knocked over by two fighting men flying through the entrance. He was knocked over and in the scuffle a gun went off. The bullet shattered a window, but ricocheted right into McRoy's stomach.
