A bullet fired into the air fell through a church roof in Texas and nearly struck a pastor conducting a New Year's Eve service, officials said.
Pastor Evan Risher said he was preaching at Ramp Church in Fort Worth when a bullet landed on the ground in front of him.
About 300 people were inside the church at the time.
No-one was hurt.
Mr Risher said he picked up the .40-calibre bullet and incorporated it into his sermon.
The bullet was fired from outside the church.
Mr Risher said police believe the bullet came from people firing celebratory gunshots shortly before midnight.
