No, I am not making this up.
In Orange County, Florida, Grant Brison was driving home after an evening out with his business partner and friend Mollie McKinney.
While the pair was stopped at a red light, a car pulled up beside them, and camouflaged gunmen jumped out and opened fire.
A bullet hit Brison's stomach, but was partially deflected by his BlackBerry.
"When the bullet went through me, it went through my BlackBerry and exploded it," Brison told tv station WFTV.
Cops don't have a motive.
