BROCKTON, Mass. (AP) — A Brockton man says he’s lucky to be alive after a bullet fired in the apartment above came through the ceiling and struck him in the head as he watched TV in the unit below.

Seth Bouldry says the bullet that struck him as he visited his fiancee Sunday night ‘‘literally bounced off my head.’’

The 23-year-old Bouldry says at first he didn’t know what happened, he just heard a pop. Then he put his hand to his head and felt blood.

He was taken to the hospital where he received four stitches.

Bouldry says there was an argument in the unit above before the gun was fired.

Police are investigating but did not immediately make an arrest.
