Local charity takes bullet donations and turns them into jewelry

Good News Notes:

A South Florida non-profit is honoring fallen Hollywood Police Officer Yandy Chirino in a unique way.

Bullets 4 Life takes bullets off the street and turns them into jewelry.

When a bullet is donated, its casing is taken apart and used as part of a bracelet.

One was donated by an Opa-locka police officer as a way to remember Chirino.

In the year 2020, more than 20,000 Americans were killed by gun violence.

Last month, while on duty, 28-year-old Officer Chirino was shot and killed responding to a burglary call.

Men and women in uniform across the country mourned his loss, including that Opa-locka police officer who never met Chirino.

The non-profit was founded in 2016 and it’s already collected more than 10,000 bullets nationwide….”
