Man’s Chain Necklace Saves His Life in Dramatic Shooting
In a shocking turn of events, a man in Colorado narrowly escaped death after a suspect fired a bullet at him, but was saved by his chain necklace. According to police in Commerce City, just outside of Denver, the 10-millimeter wide silver chain was the only thing between the victim’s neck and the .22-caliber bullet.
The incident occurred on Tuesday when the victim got into an argument with an armed man. The suspect fired, but instead of hitting the victim in the neck, the bullet became lodged in the chain. Miraculously, the victim only suffered a puncture wound.
Police were quick to praise the chain’s role in saving the victim’s life, saying, “The chain is likely the only reason the victim of a shooting we responded to yesterday is still alive… Just incredible.” The suspect was arrested and is facing attempted homicide charges.
The dramatic incident has left authorities in awe of the chain’s unexpected heroics. As one police officer quipped, “We’d say he really dodged a bullet, but in reality, he lodged a bullet.”
