An off-duty firefighter's life was saved by a DVD in his pocket when it stopped a bullet for him.
Barry McRoy was leaving a fast food restaurant in Walterboro, South Carolina, when two men entered struggling for control of a gun. (Is this a common occurence in Walterboro?!)
The gun accidentally went off and the bullet hit one of the men before shattering a window and hitting Mr. McRoy.
Mr. McRoy didn't even notice he'd been shot.
It wasn't until later, as he gave a statement to a police officer, that Mr. McRoy spotted a bullet hole in his jacket.
"I was saved by a DVD," Mr. McRoy said. "How lucky can you get?"
The man with the gun was charged with two counts of assault and battery with intent to kill and other gun-related charges.
