Many may consider their accessories a necessity, but for one Colorado man, his was, quite literally, a lifesaver.
The victim has not been identified, but the police department said his 10mm wide chain was able to blunt the force of a .22 caliber bullet and prevent further damage.
The bullet was fired during an argument and would have entered the victim’s neck had it not instead become lodged in the chain he was wearing, police said.
The person suspected of firing the bullet has been arrested and faces charges of attempted murder, the post said.
Although the chain is colloquially referred to as silver, the police department is not sure.
“We don’t know what kind of metal this is, but it’s probably not pure silver,” they wrote.
“We checked it…and the silver is soft.
“So maybe think twice before making copies. Just amazing.”
