A Colorado man’s jewelry proved to be a life-saving accessory. The 32-year-old victim narrowly escaped a potentially fatal gunshot wound thanks to his necklace, as reported by CNN.
According to witnesses, the victim was targeted by his father following an argument on May 28. Police reports indicate that the father, aged 66, was later apprehended and was believed to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the incident. He now faces a charge of first-degree attempted murder.
Fortunately, the victim’s silver-colored necklace, estimated to be 10 millimeters wide, played a crucial role in his survival. The necklace successfully deflected the impact of a .22 caliber bullet, preventing it from penetrating his neck and causing further harm.
It is unclear what the necklace was made of, there’s no doubt that it did its job of protecting the person in this amazing situation.
“We don’t know what kind of metal this is, but it’s likely not pure silver,”
they wrote.
“We looked it up … and silver is soft. So maybe think twice before you knock a knockoff. Just incredible.”
