She replied, "Well I don't love him," then heard gunshots.She said she looked behind the vehicle and saw her ex-boyfriend firing a handgun at her."On my way out I saw him walking up the sidewalk, and he just started shooting, four shots, and one of them hit the back of my head, and luckily it didn't go through because my wig cap stopped it," Bond said.She stomped her accelerator and fled, then turned into another parking lot and called police. She told officers she recently had ended an eight-month relationship with the suspect.Police arrested the ex-boyfriend and his friend in a car."I invested a lot of money into this wig, and it saved my life," Bond said. "I've got an angel."
