| Bienvenido Reynoso shows the bullet logged on belt buckle |
(Scroll down for video) It was a scary moment for a store clerk when he heard shots being fired outside of his store.
Bienvenido Reynoso, was working in a grocery store when a stray bullet from a gunfight outside the store hit him.
Reynoso, 38, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania said he was about to take a hand truck outside Wednesday afternoon when the shots began to fly, so he laid down on the ground inside the store. Surveillance video showed a cake falling off the shelf over his head.
At first, Reynoso said he did not realize he was hit by the stray bullet until someone pointed out a hole in his shirt, and when he lifted his shirt he found that a bullet has indeed hit him but it was stuck on his belt buckle.
“He is lucky to be alive. It is truly amazing that he was not hurt. The picture of the bullet logged on his belt is fascinating,” Jeffrey Kellinger, 20, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania told YourJewishNews.com after he seeing the photo of the belt.
Christian Vinas, 21, who was working behind the counter, also laid down on the floor when the shooting began. Vines, who moved to Philadelphia from Florida last month, said it was the second shooting in the past week in the neighborhood.
Police said one man was shot in the stomach on the street during the shootout. So far no arrests have been made.
