He took a selfie, of course. According to two images posted by a local reporter on Twitter, Martinez appears to have snapped at least two selfies after suspect Ryan E. Giroux allegedly approached and shot him through the shoulder at a restaurant operated by the East Valley Institute of Technology in suburban Phoenix. Martinez was later treated at a local hospital and informed his friends [via Facebook ](http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/03/19/ariz-shooting-victim-takes-a-bullet-then-a-selfie/25005727/)that he was at home and convalescing and thankfully was not suffering from any “complicated injuries.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3750465/selfie-shooting-mesa-arizona/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3750465/selfie-shooting-mesa-arizona/"},"headline":"This Guy Got Shot in the Shoulder and Immediately Decided to Post a Selfie","datePublished":"2015-03-19T08:51:12.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:17:49.016Z","description":"Status update: Feeling shot","url":"https://time.com/3750465/selfie-shooting-mesa-arizona/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Crime","shooting","selfie","Arizona"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"David Stout","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/david-stout/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3750465/selfie-shooting-mesa-arizona/","name":"This Guy Got Shot in the Shoulder and Immediately Decided to Post a Selfie"}}]}] ```
