A Man Escapes Death Thanks to his Cell Phone

2) A stray bullet hit a man in his chest while he was mowing his lawn Saturday, but he escaped injury because the bullet slammed into a cell phone in his pocket.

R.J. Richard of Slidell said he was working in his yard when a large-caliber bullet slammed into his chest.

"When this thing hit me, it hit with such force that I thought it popped up from the lawnmower some kind of way," he said.
