Probably. He’s also lucky it was a 9mm, probably a hollow point. John Moses Browning is shaking his head.

Would a straight on shot penetrate a laptop?The Mythbusters tested this as few years back, and determined that the laptop battery is dense enough that it might stop birdshot at point-blank range. Anything bigger than that, and the laptop is basically transparent. The kid in this story must have caught a stray, glancing shot; I doubt a laptop would have protected him if he was deliberately targeted.
