Devon Gallagher, 19, shows the scar where a bullet entered his body June 2007 during an attempted robbery of the Neighborhood Discount Store on Ford Street in Fort Myers. Gallagher was 14 at the time when brother Damione Massey, 16, died at the scene, after the store manager fired back, wounding Gallagher. Gallagher is currently serving time at the DeSoto Annex in Arcadia on marijuana possession, a parole violation. He is expected to be released from state prison in 2017. He then faces 11 years in federal prison. Gallagher said his whole body froze after he was shot, 'I know I'm shot because I see all the blood out me. I said, 'Please, God, let me live.''
