For one Colorado man in the United States, his accessory proved to be more than just a fashion statement - it was a lifesaver.
During an argument, the man was shot at with a .22 caliber bullet. However, the 10-millimeter-wide chain he was wearing was able to blunt the force of the bullet and prevent it from causing further damage. Instead of hitting the man's neck, the bullet became lodged in the chain.
The person suspected of firing the shot has been arrested and is facing attempted homicide charges.
While the chain has been described as "silver," the police department is uncertain about the exact metal composition. "We don't know what kind of metal this is, but it's likely not pure silver," they stated. "We looked it up... and silver is soft. So maybe think twice before you knock a knockoff. Just incredible."
This incident serves as a powerful reminder that sometimes the most unassuming accessories can make all the difference in an emergency situation. This Colorado man's necklace chain proved to be more than just a fashion choice - it saved his life.
