NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — An elderly woman was not seriously injured after she was struck by a falling bullet on New Year’s Day in Antioch.
The incident happened just after midnight at a home on Waikiki Boulevard.
Officials with Metro Nashville police said Aurora Rivera was sitting at her kitchen table when a bullet fell through the ceiling and hit her arm.
NewsChannel5 spoke with the 75-year-old and she says at first she thought it was a rock. She felt a sharp pain out of no where.
It did leave a small mark but nothing too serious. Aurora wasn't sent to the hospital.
