A320 windscreens

Have heard story of Boeing windshield failure of both inner and outer panel. Windshield was bulging outward against air stream, pushed out by cabin differential pressure. there is a plastic layer between the inner and outer panel and this was deforming but windshield held. do not know the particulars but windshield was held in by the very strong structure surrounding it. In the past that structure has been aluminum.

is the structure surrounding Airbus A320 windshields metal or composite?
