According to her emotional account, the young mother was in the kitchen cooking for her family when chaos suddenly broke out outside. Law enforcement officers were reportedly chasing some suspected criminals, and gunshots rang through the area.
“My baby was happily playing on his mat while I cooked,” she wrote. “Then I heard loud sounds outside. When I rushed back to check on him, he was crying so loudly… I didn’t understand what had happened until I looked closely — a stray bullet had hit him!” 😭
In sheer panic, she examined her baby’s body, only to discover that the bullet had barely grazed his rib area, leaving just a small scratch instead of a fatal wound.
“It is truly a miracle from God,” she said. “Who says God doesn’t exist? He protected my son. It only gave him a scratch. I am so grateful to our good God who saved my baby’s life this evening.”
Her emotional post has since gone viral on Facebook and X (formerly Twitter), where many users joined her in thanking God for divine protection, calling the survival “nothing short of a miracle.”
Several commenters shared similar stories of near-misses with stray bullets, urging authorities to tighten safety measures in residential areas.
While the incident left the mother deeply shaken, she expressed only gratitude — not anger. “I’m speechless,” she added. “It has finally reached my turn to experience this, but God came through for me. My baby is alive!” 🙏
