AURORA, Colo.
Colorado amputee Roger Baxter says it's just not his time.
The Vietnam vet lost his leg in October when he was hit by semi-trailer. Then yesterday, he returned home from getting a haircut to find an armed intruder inside his home. As he fought the invader with his crutch, the gunman fired a shot that deflected off Baxter's cell phone.
Baxter was wounded in the incident but the cell phone slowed the bullet down. He notes he just had the phone programmed.
Police say two juveniles were arrested, one believed to be the suspect and the other a lookout.
Baxter says he's just "a tough old bird."

And a damn lucky one.
