I guess it didn't necessarily save my life, but I decided not to go to a party where the host was shot in the head by some random gang bangers who showed up. Victim was a friend of mine and invited me. I didn't feel like going out tho. He didn't even die. But he wasn't really the same person after that.
A similar situation myself, I was supposed to go see a concert at the Alrosa Villa in Columbus, Ohio in 2004, but backed out because I was a senior in high school and my parents refused to let me skip school on a Thursday to go to a concert 2hrs away on a Wednesday night.
There was a shooting that night that killed Dimebag Darrell.
