According to authorities, a man in Colorado literally avoided a bullet with his chain.
The victim was wearing a silver chain about 10 millimeters wide when he got into an altercation with an armed man on Tuesday, according to police in Commerce City, just outside Denver.
The perpetrator shot, and instead of striking the victim in the neck, the.A 22-caliber bullet became caught in the chain, according to authorities.
The police stated the victim just had a puncture wound.
“We’d say he really dodged a bullet,” according to cops, “but in reality, he LODGED a bullet.”
The chain “is likely the only reason the victim of a shooting we responded to yesterday is still alive,” police stated. “Just incredible.”
Authorities arrested the unnamed individual and charged them with attempted homicide.
