GASTONIA, N.C. (WSOC) – A North Carolina store clerk is recovering after he was shot in the arm Friday, but his injuries could have been much worse if his reflexes weren’t as fast. Scottie Floyd looked almost like a superhero, dodging a bullet from a gun almost in his face. “I thank God. It was God,” he said. Floyd actually opened the door for the man who nearly took his life at the Jacob’s Food Mart on Marietta Street in Gastonia. At the time, Floyd did not know the man had a gun.

A Gastonia shooting left multiple people injured and an unborn baby dead in March, police said. Two arrests have been made, but a mother is still grieving her baby, who would have been a month old by now. Alyssa Raine was 17 years old and nine months pregnant when she said two masked men broke into a Gastonia motel room and killed the baby she never got the chance to meet. She told Channel 9’s Ken Lemon that even though the shooting happened in March, it’s still very real for her.
