A mobile phone became an unexpected life-saving shield for a Thai woman when her ex-boyfriend shot her in the Isaan province of Chaiyaphum. Thanks to the phone shield the woman only suffered a mild injury near her waist.

 

The victim, 24 year old Ratda, who remains at Khon Sawan Hospital, recounted the shooting to police and reporters. According to Ratda, the shooting occurred to her while she was riding a motorcycle back home.

 

Just as she was about the arrive home, her 29 year old ex-boyfriend Thongbon fired two shots at her. One gunshot missed while another struck her mobile phone and penetrated her body. She fled the scene on her motorcycle to seek help from neighbours before filing a complaint at Khon Sawan Police Station.

 

Ratda stated that she clearly saw that the gunman was Thongbon. She disclosed that she had been in a relationship with Thongbon for four months and previously shared a home with him. However, Thongbon always physically abused her so she ended the relationship a month before the shooting.

Why was her phone just above her waist.......in a bag, tucked into her knicker elastic. Strange place to have a phone.

I know where I'd like to stuff some of the phones being used by ignorant users. The place where the sun don't shine.????

I do not doubt it would hurt, I do not doubt she would need surgery for potential organ damage, but I highly doubt a single stomach shot would kill you.

Right, because there is no chance those blood free trousers were provided at the hospital after the wound was dressed.
