Xbox helps man during home robbery

4.8
At a house in North Apollo, Derrick Shaffer was casually playing his Xbox, when the front door to his home opened. Derrick simply thought that a family member had come home, but instead found an armed man in a ski mask.
The armed robber bound Derrick with duct tape and zip ties while he robbed the house of money, jewels and several firearms. The robber then fled the house in a car belonging to Derrick's father.
Still tied up, Derrick managed to get to his Xbox headset and get the friend he was playing online with to call the police.
It's good to hear that playing video games had actually helped somebody for once. So if anyone ever complains that your wasting time playing Xbox, tell them it could help save your life in an emergency situation!

Here is the full news story for those that are interested.

That's Pretty interesting. Would have sucked if he had invited the friend before he knew it was a robber and after being tied up his friend still didn't join.
Must have taken a while for his friend to really believe him and call, but that's still cool how Xbox saved him!

That is extremely lucky, depending on how he was tied up he may have been stuck there for days.
