So you've heard about the bullet-proof bras for women police officers. A bullet was also stopped by one of those giant purses college-aged women are so fond of that could double as summer homes. Well, mark your calendar because the apocalypse is surely coming: A woman's weave stopped a bullet, saving her life.
Unrelated, but still completely awesome hair.
Yes, you read that right. Briana Bonds, 20, of Kansas City, Missouri was at a grocery store when she had a run-in with her ex-boyfriend with whom she had recently broken up . The ex, 28-year-old Juan Kemp, fired at the car Bonds was riding in and hit her in the back of the head. Lucky for Ms. Bonds, her WEAVE caught the bullet! The police found a spent bullet in her hair.
In an interview after the shooting, Ms. Bonds told reporters that she had a headache, but no other ill effects. She felt a burning sensation and heard a bang, but the weave is still intact. If I was the person who put this weave in, I would put a sign up in my shop: "Bullet-Proof Weaves, as Seen on TV."
In her interview, Ms. Bonds spoke fondly of her weave: "I've been wearing it for years. I've invested a lot of money into this weave, and it saved my life."
It's a common trope on TV and in the movies to see a bullet get magically stopped by Grampy's Special Flask that is hidden under the main character's vest, but when does this happen in real life? The odds of this are insane. I sincerely wish Briana Banks the best of luck in the future, and I hope she always keeps that weave.
