A 44 year old woman escaped serious injury from a gunshot Sunday thanks to her seat belt and a thick bra strap, authorities said. Robin Key, 44, of Riverview, Fla., was shot through the windshield of the car she was riding in Sunday. She said she felt a searing pain in her shoulder. Hillsborough County sheriff’s deputies said a .38-caliber bullet smashed through the windshield then bounced off Key’s shoulder—thanks to a seat belt and a thick bra strap. The copper jacketed slug landed in her lap. “It’s a big bullet, but you had all those forces acting against it,” Hillsborough sheriff’s spokesman J D Callaway told the St Petersburg Times. “It’s very rare that something like that occurs. She’s very lucky. You know, we’re just glad she came out OK.”
