This is amazing!
Apparently the guy on the rampage was using a .40 cal pistol. He shot a random guy in the face, and the bullet was deflected by a titanium plate that was used to repair his nose after cancer surgery. They call it minor injuries, but that had to rattle the guys head! Wow!
Shooting spree close call: Driver says bullet bounced off nose plate | MLive.com
GRAND RAPIDS - A pickup truck driver stuck in a traffic jam in Grand Rapids says a titanium plate in his nose kept him from being severely wounded or killed by gunman who fatally shot seven people and took his own life.
Robert Poore said the man later identified as Rodrick Dantzler raised a gun and fired shots at Poore's truck Thursday afternoon. A bullet ricocheted off Poore's nose because of the titanium plate that was inserted during cancer treatment as a child, he told WOOD-TV.
Poore suffered minor injuries.
Police say the 34-year-old Dantzler killed himself with a single shot to the head late Thursday, ending a standoff. Authorities say Dantzler earlier embarked on an unexplained rampage in which he killed his daughter, an ex-girlfriend and five others.
