DAYTON, Ohio Authorities say a Bible may have saved the life of a Dayton bus driver Monday.
A New Testament Bible was in the front pocket of a Regional Transit Authority bus driver's shirt when he took two bullets to the chest during an early morning shooting.
The bullets struck the Bible and did not penetrate his body, authorities told WHIO-TV.
Officers at the scene called the life-saving event and intervention.

According to WHIO, the bus driver parked his bus on Lakeview Avenue in Dayton after it stopped running. While outside of the bus assessing how to fix the problem, three males came up to him and said they had to "shoot a polar bear," police said.
