Action cam captures stray bullet hitting cyclist

A team of cyclists road along New Orleans streets. One of them had an action cam to capture the ride.

But as the Semi Tough cycling club rides along, one member is hit by something in his lower back.

After being forced to stop his ride, he eventually finds out it was a bullet that hit him.

Although the team thought it might be a BB gun from a passing truck, they later find out a shooting was reported nearby. The bullet that struck the cyclist was a stray bullet from nearby violence.

New Orleans leads the country with the highest murder rate. But the cycling club is undeterred, and promises to continue its rides.
