A Florida woman said her love handles saved her life when she was shot entering an Atlantic City bar.

Samantha Lynn Frazier said she heard two pops when she walked into Herman's Place early Saturday. The 35-year-old then felt pain and saw blood on her hand after she grabbed her left side. Atlantic City police said Frazier was an innocent bystander.

Detective Lt Charles Love said the gunman was aiming for a man who escaped with a bullet hole in his down jacket.

The suspect remains at large.

Frazier told The Press of Atlantic City that 'I could have been dead. They said my love handles saved my life."

Frazier also told the newspaper that she had been "hollering" that she wanted to lose weight. She now said "I want to be as big as I can if it's going to stop a bullet."

Some of the comments from OBVIOUSLY thinner people probably means that they are also thin on brain matter...like Grimsdale etc...!!!

Some of your comments are as stupid as the headline...being fat is not the issue here. A SHOOTING HAPPENED. The person that was shooting at another person is still at large...out there...so us skinny people may be next...we won't be so lucky huh?????

The article doesn't say which way the shooter was firing, from her front or back or from the side. If they're saying that her fat saved her life then she probably was shot from the side. That being said if she wasn't fat she would have died and not been missed like many of commenters with lackluster intelligences have stated.

Still it's not a good reason to stay fat maybe a good reason to go to a different club.

Some of you have been saying that she wouldn't have been shot if she weren't fat. No, she wouldn't have been shot if SOMEONE HADN'T BEEN SHOOTING IN HER DIRECTION!!! This is as bad as the 'in the wrong place, at the wrong time' comments that come out when there is a gang drive by shooting ... the shooting is what's in the WRONG PLACE, not the victims!! Idiots!

These comments prove that it's more of a crime to be fat than to shoot someone. USA!USA!USA!

This happened to my grandfather when my grandmother shot him. His fat belly stopped the bullet that would have hit his internal organs.

The love handles did not save her, had she not had them, she would not have been hit. She is using faulty logic.

So fat that no one could shoot around her.
