Taking to Twitter, the content creator shared pictures of a monitor with a bullet hole as proof of how close the stray bullet was to his upper body.

Wtf is life https://t.co/7x9L2Rc2i2 With the dangerous incident going viral on social media, many on Twitter started dissecting what could have happened as the post gained hundreds of thousands of reactions within hours. To ensure nobody misunderstood the incident, he clarified what had happened with subsequent pictures of the various bullet holes in his house, saying: "A stray shot from someone yesterday almost hit my head while I was playing apex. At most missed me by 3 inches and hit my left monitor. Wt* is life." Haters are wild Twitter reactions to pictures were not all positive with some accusing YouTuber of faking it for clout Mike Check is a self proclaimed sneakerhead and describes himself on his Twitter bio as "Hard Stuck Diamond on Apex and a Warzone Bot." The relatively small YouTuber has 14.7K subscribers and comes from Atlanta, Georgia. With over 300K likes on the post, a wide variety of people on the internet have seen the incident. While many immediately started talking about gun laws in America and sharing their own experiences with stray bullets, a few showed skepticism and called it staged. Flagrant@YTMikeCheckHaters are wild! After something traumatic like this I cant believe ppl telling me I did this myself bc at the time of posting I forgot to include the pics of entry holes. Blaming the victim is wild, especially on their own assumptions. I’m just happy I’m safe.37300524Haters are wild!

Calling his experience traumatic, he posted more pictures from outside his house with a caption that read: "Haters are wild! After something traumatic like this I cant believe ppl telling me I did this myself bc at the time of posting I forgot to include the pics of entry holes. Blaming the victim is wild, especially on their own assumptions. I’m just happy I’m safe." Twitter reactions The majority of people who saw the pictures acknowledged that the bullet could have easily hit the YouTuber and expressed relief about him escaping unscathed. Coupled with that, many shared their own experiences with stray bullets: SznOfThaDonn?@KTD24_7@YTMikeCheck @diiamante__ I’m sorry this happened! I’m glad to see you made it to the next day!

Some even got into arguments and mocked people for believing in this story: Raul Aguirre @RAguirreJR1903@YTMikeCheck Ok, first off you said stray bullet which implies not being the intended target. Ur 40ft from the street and if it's a pistol which doesn't look like anything over .40 cal it's def not going to penetrate the exterior, through the insulation, drywall, sheetrock, etc.3@YTMikeCheck Ok, first off you said stray bullet which implies not being the intended target.

In one of the last tweets on the thread, he urged those who loved sneakers to have a look at his channel and thanked the well-wishers for supporting him.
