Teenager safe after glasses deflect bullet - The Borneo Post Online

Posted: 23 Dec 2013 03:50 PM PST

OLYMPIA, Washington: A teenage girl avoided serious injury when her glasses deflected a bullet fired during a drive-by shooting at her Seattle home, police said on Sunday.

The 16-year-old girl was asleep on her living room couch at about 9.40pm on Saturday (0540 GMT on Sunday) when shots were fired from a dark-colored sedan as it passed her house, Seattle police spokesman Detective Mark Jamieson said.

Several bullets went through the walls of the house and one through the front window, Jamieson said.

One of the bullets struck the bridge of the teen's glasses, Jamieson said.

She suffered only minor injuries and was treated at a local hospital, he added.

"She is very, very fortunate," Jamieson said.

Several other people were at the house at the time of the shooting, but no other injuries were reported, Jamieson said.

Police believe the house was targeted in what was likely a gang-related shooting, but the girl was not the intended victim.

No arrests have been made in the shooting and the police gang unit was investigating, Jamieson said.

Jamieson said police do not know how many people were involved in the shooting. — Reuters
