Lucky escape: The woman was saved by the underwire in her bra

The woman had an incredible escape when her life was saved by her choice of lingerie.
The underwired bra saved Ivete Medeiros' life after she was struck near the heart by a stray bullet.
The lucky shopkeeper, from Belem, Brazil, was hit after she heard a commotion and emerged from a market to investigate, Globo television network reported.
A thief holding up a passer-by on the other side of the street opened fire, and a bullet struck Ivete under her left breast.Ivete's husband told Globo he thought his wife had died.

But the bullet lodged in the underwire of her lace bra.
Images of Ivete's dress, with a small hole, the bra and a squashed bullet were broadcast by a local news station.
She told the network: "It was a deliverance from God."
