When a Brazilian woman left a supermarket and accidentally a robbery shot a woman near her heart. She went shopping and at the same time a robbery took place. When she realized she was not bleeding, she presumed she had not been hit after all. But she then felt a little burning sensation and after finding the source of the pain, discovered the wire in the bra stopped the bullet. The woman says that God saved her. Her husband worried that she was going to die. The trusty bra played an important role in saving her life. Unfortunately, accidental deaths from the gun shot are common in Brazil where more than five million people live below the poverty line. The situation is fueling crime in the country.
