Man Saved by 'Very Lucky' Penny After Someone Shoots Into SUV

HINDS COUNTY, MISSISSIPPI, AUG 5 – Jason Walker was saved when a bullet lodged in a penny inside his bag during a road rage shooting on Interstate 220, police investigators confirmed.

  • Mississippi man Jason Walker was driving when someone fired into his SUV, and a penny in his work bag was deflected, which he called 'very lucky.'
  • Amid growing road rage tensions, Walker said the other driver yelled and gestured aggressively after slamming his brakes twice on Clinton Boulevard and U.S. 20 in Pearl.
  • During the attack on his vehicle, the shooter rolled down his window and fired seven shots into Walker’s right passenger door, with two exiting through the door into his dashboard and one passing about 6 inches from his face through the driver’s side window, Walker said.
  • Following the incident, Walker called 911 and filed a police report, and investigators retained his SUV for examination.
  • Meanwhile, it was the second such survivor story as this past Sunday a woman said someone shot through her SUV at a light on Country Club Drive and Northside Drive.
