Police are investigating a shooting in Philadelphia on Wednesday that left a man critically injured and another man counting his blessings.
The incident happened just before 4:00 p.m. on the 2600 block of Tasker Street in the Grays Ferry section of the city.
According to police, a 24-year-old man was shot in the stomach on the street. He was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in critical condition.
Meanwhile, a stray bullet from that incident went into a store and struck employee, 38-year-old Bienvenido Reynoso.
Police say the bullet lodged in Reynoso's belt buckle, which prevented him from being harmed.
Action News asked Reynoso if he was feeling lucky after his belt buckle saved his life. He says he was "born again" following the harrowing ordeal while working inside the 8 Brother's Supermarket.
He was getting ready to take a hand truck outside when a shootout broke out in the street.
"I went outside and heard the shots and I hit the floor," said Reynoso.
Moments later a pound cake, which was hit by another bullet, fell by his head. Reynoso may have also been hit if he had still been standing.
