Woman's Keys Deflect Bullet That Could Have Killed Her

<snip>

PEARLAND, Texas -- Police say a Houston-area woman probably owes her life to a set of keys.

The keys deflected a bullet during a robbery.

Relatives say 79-year-old Eloise Young of Pearland suffered a broken arm in Monday's attack -- but if not for the keys, she might have been shot in the chest.

Her son-in-law says the bullet broke off two keys -- and part of the bullet went into her arm.

Police say it appears two suspects followed Young home after she stopped at a Wal-Mart. Officials are reviewing the store's surveillance tape in an effort to help identify them.

2. The tape still exists???

Coming from WalMart, I'm somewhat amazed. There was a rape in the parking lot of the Sturgis, MI, WalMart... and the tape mysteriously vanished. I have this from someone who works at that store.

I hate WalMart.
