Charlotte Thompson of Indianapolis believes the Bible she was carrying in the backseat of her car slowed a stray bullet that ripped through the vehicle, saving the life of her 13-year-old great-granddaughter.

Gunfire broke out while Thompson and her two great-granddaughters were stopped at a red light. A bullet entered through the back door of the vehicle, struck the younger of the two girls in the stomach, then passed through Thompson's Bible, which was on the seat between the girls.
