DETROIT — A 57-year-old woman is alive today because her bra stopped a bullet from killing her Tuesday when men breaking into a neighbor’s home shot her, the Detroit News reports.
Police said the woman saw male teenagers breaking into her neighbor’s house Tuesday morning and when they saw her, one of them fired a shot.
Police said the underwire of the bra deflected the bullet. The woman suffered minor injuries and was treated and released.
Mother kangaroo won’t let baby back in her pouch
A startled kangaroo at the Belgrade zoo in Serbia dropped her baby from her pouch and now won’t let the tiny creature climb back in, so an international rescue operation has been mounted.
Belgrade zookeepers said Tuesday that 6-month-old Tijana fell out of the pouch after her mother was scared by an emu — a large Australian bird.
Now, the big-eyed baby kangaroo, which normally would feed on her mother’s milk inside the pouch, is being fed in an incubator with special milk donated by Australia, the United States and Germany.
Cinderella’s carriage does disappearing act
Officials in Belleville, N.J., are asking for the public’s help in recovering a vehicle stolen last weekend — a half-ton Cinderella carriage they use in the annual Columbus Day parade.
The carriage, worth $2,000, vanished from a lot at a construction company owned by Michael Perrone, a parade organizer who built the carriage. All that remain are its four golden wheels and its four pink ponies, which Perrone had put in storage.
