Smartphone stops bullet during robbery

Police in Florida said a gas station clerk’s smartphone may have saved his life when it stopped a bullet fired at his chest during a robbery.

Investigators said a customer at the Hess gas station in Winter Garden pulled out a revolver on Monday and demanded the clerk open the safe, CNN reported.

The clerk was unable to open the safe, and a second worker who arrived on the scene was also unsuccessful, police said.

The robber fired a single bullet as he fled from the store.
