Intentions
Jan. 6th, 2007 01:51 pmST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - A woman watching New Year's Eve fireworks from a picnic table found out that her bra can do more than lift and support: It also slowed a falling bullet.
The .45-caliber bullet struck Debbie Bingham, 46, after someone fired a gun into the air about 20 minutes before midnight. She still needed stitches, but the wound might have been much worse except for the bra strap, police spokesman George Kajtsa said.

St. Petersburg police were searching for the shooter to determine if the shooting was intentional, Kajtsa said.
Wow. That would have been one hell of an evil aim - to fire a pistol in the air hoping that the falling bullet strikes the intended victim...
