Well, there's two ways to look at that. A diamond is harder than any bullet, yes, but diamonds can shatter from blunt force impact - and it's not uncommon at all (ask any gem cutter).

A bullet probably could not penetrate a diamond as it would the hide and flesh of an animal, for instance, but the tremendous energy of the bullet could shatter the diamond on impact if the diamond was hit in 'exactly' the right spot, or if the back of the target was also diamond, resisting the energy and focusing it on the target diamond.

Diamonds are small enough and valuable enough that you should not try this at home.
