'I just got shot!' US boy posts bloody selfie online
New York, March 20
A 20-year-old US student
who was shot in the shoulder decided to post a smiling selfie with the
bleeding gunshot wound on social media rather than calling for medical
help.
Arizona-based restaurant worker Isaac Martinez was shot during the deadly Arizona rampage this week.
Instead
of calling 911, the first thing he did was reach for his smartphone and
post a bloody selfie on social media app Snapchat, Mirror.co.uk
reported.
The selfie-savvy college student did not just stop
there and continued updating his harrowing ordeal online as he was
being taken to the hospital, posting a series of bloody selfies
Once
in the hospital, he shared another selfie which showed him lying in bed
bare-chested with a white dressing on his bloodied shoulder.
A
friend even turned one of his hospital snapshots into a meme, showing
Martinez with a painted-on cigarette and dark sunglasses along with the
caption that read "Thug Life".
After being released from the
hospital, Martinez again updated his condition, saying that the bullet
struck him from behind and exited out of his collar area.
"I was
the only one injured. Everyone else was unharmed. Overall, I'm glad it
went the way it did rather than any other way," the 20-year-old posted.
Police
have arrested Ryan Giroux, 41, who is suspected of killing a man and
injuring five others, including Martinez during the rampage.
Martinez
was on his way to the eatery where he works part-time when Giroux
allegedly confronted him in the parking lot and demanded his car, the
report added.
