In the midst of tragedy, there’s always a bright spot.
A Florida man who was shot in the chest miraculously survived thanks to his cross necklace.
Aiden Perry, 20, was accidentally shot in the chest by a friend who was showing off his gun.
The bullet’s original path was to Perry’s heart, but the bullet ended up deflecting into fatty tissue after hitting Perry’s cross necklace.
Doctors stated that if Perry wasn’t wearing the necklace, the bullet would have pierced his heart.
Perry told WFLA, “I look at it as a lifesaver. Without it, I probably wouldn’t be talking to you guys right now.”

Per WFLA:
A Florida man who was shot in the chest credits a cross necklace for saving his life.
Aidan Perry, 20, told NBC affiliate WESH his friend was showing off a gun and accidentally fired it.
The bullet ricocheted off the golden necklace and became lodged in the fatty tissue of his chest. Doctors said the necklace saved his life, as it took most of the force of the bullet and slowed it down enough that it didn’t enter his chest.
If he hadn’t been wearing the necklace, doctors said the bullet could have pierced his lungs or heart.

Perry just didn’t give the cross necklace credit but gave thanks to God who is the message behind the cross.
“I think God played a big role in this, I think he’s the reason that I’m still here today,” shared Perry.
