Being shot at by a sniper is a weekly occurrence for many U.S. soldiers stationed in Iraq.
But the experience Army Pfc. Stephen Tschiderer, of Mendon, New York, had in Baghdad on June 2 was highly unusual.
During a routine patrol in Baghdad, Tschiderer, a medic, was shot in the chest by an enemy sniper, hiding in a van just 75 yards away. The incident was videotaped by the insurgents.
Tschiderer, was knocked to the ground from the impact, but he wasn’t killed, thanks to the protective body armor he was wearing. “I knew I was hit,” said Tschiderer, “but was uncertain of the damage or location of the hit. The only thing going through my mind was to take cover and locate the sniper’s position.”

FRANKFURT, Germany—The euro slid to its lowest level against the dollar in eight months on Wednesday, as expectations the Netherlands would reject the EU constitution in a referendum intensified doubts about European integration.
Economists said the euro likely would recover in the medium term as persistent worries about the U.S. trade and budget deficits return to haunt the dollar.
The euro fell as low $1.2224 in European trading before climbing back to $1.2242, still down from $1.2312 in New York late Tuesday.
