Bullet leaves hole in Boston boy's Celtics shirt

BOSTON - April 19, 2012

Preston Stevens says he felt some sort of force push him before the bullet went through his Rajon Rondo jersey Tuesday afternoon, barely missing his torso. He says "it was like God" pushed him. He saw and smelled smoke.

The third-grader's mother, Sharon Jackson, says she heard a series of pops at about 3 p.m. and yelled at her children to get down.

Police found a bullet in the boy's bedroom and casings in the street but are still looking for the shooter.

Meanwhile, Preston's bed has been moved away from the window.
