Florida Man Shot in the Chest Says Golden Cross Necklace Blocked Bullet, Saved His Life
- Aidan Perry, a 20-year-old man in Ocala, was accidentally shot in the chest by his friend who was showing off a gun.
- The shooting occurred because the friend unintentionally fired a round while handling the gun, leading to Aidan being hit about eight to ten feet away.
- Aidan was wearing a golden cross necklace gifted by his father last Christmas, which trauma surgeons said blocked the bullet and slowed its force and trajectory.
- Dr. Khafra Garcia Henry from HCA Florida Ocala Hospital explained the necklace’s metallic component shielded much of the bullet’s force, with the bullet ricocheting off it and entering Aidan’s chest minimally.
- The individual accused of shooting was taken into custody and faces legal charges related to negligent injury, while Aidan remains positive during his recovery, referring to the necklace as a "lifesaver" and attributing his survival to a higher power.
