File this under "New Year's Walking Wounded": A Queens man who had been celebrating the new year managed to walk almost two miles after being shot outside a bar. The Post reports that 35-year-old Hudson thought he had a stomach ache: "Doctors found his problem wasn't an upset stomach but lead poisoning - as in three bullet wounds." Hudson had been celebrating in Corona when he was hit at 102nd Street and Northern Boulevard; the Daily News says he "managed to walk...to the hospital emergency room on Broadway, just shy of 2 miles away." Hudson apparently said he doesn't know who shot him, however police are investigating whether he was targeted and doubt Hudson could have walked to the hospital by himself. He is in stable condition after surgery.
