A man is lucky to be alive after being shot in the head early Sunday morning.

Bakersfield police say the victim was in front of a home on Meeks Ave around 7:30 a.m., when a car pulled up and the driver asked the victim if he could use his cell phone.

As the victim approached the car, the driver allegedly pulled out a gun and shot him in the head.

Officials say the weapon was a small caliber, so the bullet didn't penetrate his skull.

The victim was taken to Kern Medical Center and is reportedly in stable
