The young boy was celebrating the New Year festivities with his sister and cousin at their doorstep in Argentina when he felt a sudden pain on his chest and saw a bullet fall on the ground next to him.
His mother rushed to where he was and took him to the hospital. She described the whole incident as a miracle. She said:
‘’He is here thank God. This is a miracle to us."
The doctors who attended to the boy reported that they only found a superficial wound which they treated within an hour before discharging the young and vibrant boy.
His aunt also reported that she found the necklace crucifix on the ground with a hole in it, next to where Triziano was playing.
The boy explained to his parents that it was the silver cross that his father gave him as a gift that saved his life.
His parents also took him to church after the incident just to thank God for sparing their child’s life.
‘’We took him to church, he talked to the Father, he told him that he has been blessed. Anything could have happened to him, For us it is a miracle. A ‘New Year’s Miracle’. Said his mother."
Police have already been informed and have launched investigations to find the person who is responsible for firing the shot that almost claimed the young boy’s life.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported how a single selfie saved the life of a young man, Christopher Precopia, from 99 years imprisonment.
The man had been charged with a crime he did not commit. On September 22, 2017, the man was arrested in Texas, USA, for allegedly stealing and having the intention of committing a greater crime.
After trying in vain to prove Christopher's innocence, an alibi was finally gotten - a selfie showing Christopher having fun with his family at Northwest Austin hotel, the exact location he pointed out. Even more, this selfie was posted on Facebook and publicised before he was called and arrested by the police.
