You think your cellphone is a lifesaver?

"It's remarkable 1, it's unbelievable. "

This one--really is! Not quite bulletproof, but close enough.

"Cellphone was struck while he was on the phone and the bullet went through the cellphone, striking his neck. "

He is 51-year-old, Willie Goree driving this truck to the Dallas area. He decided 2 to pull over, take an afternoon break in Willis and get a bite to eat. He was on the phone, walking when at least two shots were fired.

"By the time I've got ready to turn around, the guy fired on me, and you know, hit my cellphone and I had my hand up. I was checking my load to see whether it was stable and that's when the... you know, the, the fire … the shot fired, it went from my cellphone to my ear, inside and came out on the other end and the other shot was fired and hit the door. "

They came from under the overpass 3, a space you can only crawl through, a space investigators 4 say this man called home, not all the comforts, just a few bags of belongings--and this. The man was arrested nearby minutes after the shooting. Investigators found something suspicious in his things. The bomb squad 5 takes no chances. Police say they have no idea what may have caused the man to start shooting. His name is Filfarkey Hofoca. He's from the Isle 6 of Tonga, here legally.

Locals saw him often.

"I mean, He was over at the pawnshop one day, er, I gave him some money at coff.. , at the McDonald's over here for some coffee one morning, and he did need a little change, but, err 7, I never saw him doing anything out of the way"--(until now!)
