Just Like Wonder Woman?

December 8th, 2007

Sorta makes me think of Wonder Woman and her magic bracelets but police say a man’s wedding band deflected a bullet and likely saved his life.  Police Sgt. Jeffrey Scott says two men walked into Register’s shop at The Antique Market on Saturday and asked to see a coin collection.

When Register retrieved the collection, one of the men pulled a gun and demanded money.  A shot was fired as Register threw up his left hand, and his wedding ring deflected the bullet, police said.  His wife Darlene Register says the bullet managed to go through two of his fingers without severing the bone.

A part of the bullet broke off and is in his middle finger - the other part is in his neck, lodged in the muscle tissue.  She said she gives God all the credit.  Police were searching for the robbers, who Scott said “stole a substantial amount of cash.” The whole thing still sounds quite messy.
