Underwire bra deflects bullet fired at woman

This news was amazing, I can’t imagine how the metal underwire can deflect a bullet. I have an underwired bra and its metal is just a thin strip. I wonder if the 57-year-old woman from Detroit was wearing a unique underwire bra.

Anyway, Detroit police Officer Leon Rahmaan said the old woman apparently looked out her window Tuesday when one of three men fired the shot. He said the slug smashed through her window pane before hitting the bra's underwire. Luckily the bullet did not penetrate her skin. She sustained injuries but they're not life threatening.

Police said the suspects may have fired at her when she looked at her window after a burglar alarm at her neighbor which was not at home at the time sounded. The suspects drove away after the shooting.
