A clerk’s life was likely saved thanks to his cellphone during an attempted robbery on Monday at a gas station on the outskirts of Orlando. During a stickup in the Sunshine State’s Winter Garden, a robber fired a bullet at the clerk’s abdomen after he failed to open the store’s safe.
According to a report published by AP, the suspect fired one round at the clerk, which struck his cell phone. The suspect then fled the scene. The employee was reportedly unaware that he had been shot until he removed the phone from his shirt pocket.
