Report: Brazilian woman says underwire bra saved her from stray bullet
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Brazilian news report says an underwire bra saved a woman's life after she was struck near the heart by a stray bullet.
Globo television network says Ivete Medeiros, a merchant in the Amazonian city of Belem, was hit after she heard a commotion and emerged from a market to investigate.
A thief holding up a passer-by on the other side of the street opened fire, and a bullet struck Medeiros under her left breast.

But the bullet lodged in the underwire of her black lace bra. Thursday's report showed images of Medeiros' dress, with a small hole, the bra and a squashed bullet.
Medeiros told the network, "It was a deliverance from God."
