Gary Schuelke looked in the mirror. What looked like a pimple stared back. He squeezed. To his surprise, a tiny piece of bullet fell out. Another half inch higher and he might have lost an eyeball. The fragment struck Schuelke, then a San Bernardino police sergeant, during a firefight weeks earlier between police including Schuelke's son and a married couple who murdered 14 people and wounded 22 at a holiday-themed meeting of San Bernardino County workers on Dec. 2, 2015.
