Necklace Stops Bullet, Saves Colorado Man's Life

A 10-millimeter chain necklace likely prevented a fatal shooting during an argument in Commerce City, police say.

  • The bullet, fired from a .22 caliber gun, lodged in the necklace instead of the victim's neck.
  • The suspect, arrested at the scene, faces attempted homicide charges.
  • Police are unsure of the necklace's material but believe it is not pure silver.
  • Images shared by police show the bullet mangled within the bloodied chain.
  • The victim suffered only a puncture wound and is expected to recover.
