"I felt a stab of pain in my right arm and screamed," she says. "They had to take me to the hospital to have the pellet removed." The police caught the culprit, a young German, who admitted responsibility. "He fired the gun at me because I was Turkish," said Nilguen. That incident occurred a year ago.
