His iPhone 5s was covered with a Speck brand protective case and took the bullet on full impact.
It did not survive though the ordeal and the student will probably keep it as a memento.
Though the students life was saved, the thief, unfortunately made away with his HP laptop.
He was shocked and sweating.
And he said I got mugged.
And the person who mugged me shot me in the leg, Faris said.
Faris didnt see any blood.
So it saved his life, Faris said.
Faris roommate told him, the gunman followed him to the door of their apartment.
And grabbed the victims computer bag.
The victim pulled the bag back.
And thats when the suspect shot him and ran off with the computer.
The bullet shot and shattered the iPhone.
He did not bleed.
He was lucky, Faris said.
