A man gets shot in the chest and you won't believe what he did first before getting help
He took a selfie first. True story! Read below
20 year-old Isaac Martinez was shot in the
chest by the alleged Mesa shooter in Arizona,
after he refused to give up the keys to his car.
Instead of immediately calling for help,
Martinez took a selfie of his bullet wound and
posted it to social sharing site Snapchat
When the suspected shooter, Ryan
Giroux, approached Martinez demanding the keys
to his car, he refused and Giroux fired at him.
For anyone who didn’t get enough detail from
the photos, Martinez gave his 1,200 Facebook
friends a point-by-point account of how the
shooting went down:
“He (the suspect) came in and demanded my
keys for a getaway car. Of course i said n o,
and next was him pulling out a gun and
cocking it. Soon as i saw it i started stepping
back. And yelled for everyone to step back
and get down.
Next thing i knew i was hitting the ground,
got up as fast as i fell, and ran out the back
exit. At the same time the assailant had
started taking off in my chef instructors [sic]
car. When i saw he had gone. I noticed the
cops and fire trucks down the street and went
there.”
He followed up the picture with an update of
how he was doing:
“So im home and well! I have no complicated
injuries and should heal fine,” Martinez’s
Facebook posts says. “I had a bullet hit me
from behind and go through my shoulder and
out my coller area. Any higher or lower it
coulda hit a artery, or shatter my shoulder
blade. It was a miracle hit.”
Martinez continued to update his social media
followers throughout his recovery, posting a
picture of himself in a hospital bed, with the
gunshot wound visibly showing
Martinez is living proof that if getting shot
doesn’t pull someone away from his phone,
nothing will.
