Briana Bonds literally came within a hair’s breadth of dying late Wednesday night after her tightly-woven wig somehow stopped a speeding bullet.
Bonds, 20, was in her car in a convenience store parking lot when a man flagged her down and told her that her ex-boyfriend still loved her.
She replied, “Well I don’t love him,” then Banks says she heard gunshots as her ex-boyfriend, Juan Kemp, allegedly opened fire from behind the second vehicle.
Bonds sped away from the store to another parking lot where she called police, who found the 40-caliber slug tangled in her hair. Police say that her weave prevented it from penetrating her skull.
“One of (the bullets) hit the back of my head. Luckily, it didn’t go through because the back of my wig,” said Bonds. “My wig had stopped it. It was hanging in my hair. It was about this small scrunched up.”
“I’ve been wearing it for years. I’ve invested a lot of money into this weave,” said Bonds. “It saved my life.”
I love this comment.
My people, It’s def. a blessing that she’s alive. But why must it always be us on the news humiliating ourselves. They always catch us on TV looking crazy. Or find the local crackhead telling what they seen. There are some intelligent african american people that can speak and be on TV.
