A woman that lives on the west side of Detroit watched how some youths were breaking into a house next door while her neighbor was away and the house was left alone. Police believes that a member of the gang saw her looking out of the window at them, and shoot her. The bullet smashed the window and hit her, but instead of accomplishing its purpose of killing the 57 year old woman, the bullet was deflected off the wiring in her bra. The suspects then drove away after shooting.
Her name was not mentioned, but the woman was taken to the hospital and amazingly was released the same day. “It did slow the bullet down, she sustained injuries but they’re not life-threatening.” Said a police spokesman. Police in Detroit added that one of the three intruders fired a shot when the woman looked out of her window and saw them raiding the house.
Local police Eren Stephens Bell told the Detroit News: “We need to get some bulletproof vests made from that. It is some strong wire.”
Every Memorial Day, people who volunteer place USA flags next to the graves of veterans buried at Mount Hope Cemetery, which is 55 miles northeast from Detroit. It has been reported that workers at the cemetery noticed several flags that had been torn off their wooden staffs.
The superintendent of the cemetery affirms that a brazen squirrel is responsible for the disappearance of the small flags. “He plucks them right off,” he said. “If I didn´t see it, and I didn´t follow the squirrel, I never would have believed it.”
