Shot husband spits out bullet

FALSE teeth protect your oral hygiene from worsening, and now it appears they can save your life if someone shoots you.
Croatian couple Stipe and Mirna Cavlovic, both 37, got caught up in a row between two men.
One of the men fired at the couple but the bullet ricocheted off Mirna's cheek and got stuck in her husband's false teeth.
The surprised Stipe then spat out the hot bullet, terrifying his attacker, according to metro.co.uk.
I thought I was dead for sure," he told police. "I didn't even see the bullet hit my wife. I just saw the flash of the gun's barrel.
"The next thing I knew was something hit my false tooth and I spat out the hot lead. It hurt like hell but we're both still alive."
Police believe he survived because the bullet lost so much speed when it grazed Marla's cheek. She was also uninjured.
The 58-year-old gunman was arrested.
