Bra saves woman from gunshot

April 24, 2009 by admin

Just how lucky can you get? A 57-year-old Detroit woman avoided serious injury when the underwire on her bra deflected a bullet shot at her from next door, police said. The woman, who lives on the West side of Detroit, saw a group of men breaking into a neighbor's house on Tuesday morning. When the men spotted her, one of them fired a shot at her, a police spokesman said. The bullet struck the underwire on the woman's bra and that saved her from a more serious injury, police said. "It did slow the bullet down," said Detroit police spokesman Phillip Cook. "She sustained injuries but they're not life threatening."
