We all enjoy seeing those crazy videos where they do some overkill shots with high powered weapons and destroy iPhones. However, there are those rare occasions where a smartphone is actually the reason someone is alive, and we don’t mean a YouTube video playing to teach the heimlich.
There was a robbery attempt that took place in Winter Garden Florida on Monday. The gunman entered the store and demanded the clerk opens the safe, like they always do, the clerk failed to do so. Another clerk entered the store and and was demanded to do the same thing. Neither of them could open the safe. As the gunman fled he fired a single shot at the men. Emergency services arrived and checked the clerks over. One clerk complained of chest pains and that is when they discovered that he had been shot. There is a happy ending, for the clerk at last, his HTC, looks llike the Evo 3D, was in his shirt pocket and it stopped the bullet.
It didn’t take long for HTC to catch wind of the news story.
If anybody deserves a new #HTCOne, it's this guy: http://t.co/diEDp9Ve5N. Enjoy the "Glad You’re OK" care package. http://t.co/azColVH6jW

They stepped it up and shipped out a care package to the survivor. His brush with death isn’t only getting him a chance to live, but also a new HTC One and a few other accessories. That should ease the chest pains and get him back to life as usual. Awesome work HTC.
We shouldn’t have to mention it, but we will, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!
