Was this man's leg injured because he failed to protect it with a Bible?

This CNN report discusses a man whose bus broke down in Dayton, Ohio in the wee hours of the morning.

There, he was set upon by a gang of teenaged rascals. These vagabonds shot him three times and stabbed him.

Of course, his chest was protected by his pocket Bible, and thus his life was saved (hallelujah!). But I have to wonder: Why were his leg and arm not spared from gunshot and knife? Should he have been armoured head-to-toe in Bible plate mail?

“There was obviously some kind of intervention involved in this incident, because he probably should not be here,” Dayton Police Sgt. Michael Pauley told WHIO.

If there were some kind of intervention, why did it not guard his poor leg and arm as well as his chest?

I also think it’s not very kind of the police officer to say that BibleMan shouldn’t be here.
