DVD stops a flying bullet

It was Saturday morning in South Carolina when Barry McRoy was leaving a fastfood restaurant. Right before McRoy was outside two men entered while they were struggling for a gun. During the fight the gun went off and hit one of the two fighting men before shattering a window and striking McRoy.

McRoy, a Fire and Rescue Director for Colleton County Fire Service, didn't notice that he was shot until later when he found a bullet hole in his jacket. After a quick investigation the police spotted a broken DVD case and a piece of the bullet in McRoy's pocket.

The Fire and Rescue Director was saved by a DVD! The DVD was a present from an employee who had recordered a show about fire extinguishers. Both the DVD as McRoy suffered minor damage. Definitely a good gift!

Is it April yet?
Sounds like the case stopped the bullet.

I bet Blu-Ray wouldn't have stopped the bullet. Proves that DVD is a better format. :B
There is a tv show about fire extinguishers?????

And someone not only watched it, but recorded, burned and shared it?????

Comparatively, the bullet story seems normal
Who was the manufacturer of the dvd? :)
