A survivor of the California garlic festival shooting has revealed that he was hit at least five times, saying, “I’m a walking miracle.”

Justin Bates, 24, told ABC News that “five to seven different bullets” grazed him as ran for his life during Sunday’s bloodbath  at the popular Gilroy event.

“I am blessed to be alive right now. God’s hand was watching over me,” Bates told the Mercury News in San Jose.

Bates said crazed gunman Santino William Legan, 19, “came out of nowhere” with his legally purchased AK-47-style rifle.

“He shot once and it looked like the gun got jammed,” he told the paper. “He brought it back up and started shooting automatic fire into the crowds.”

Legan’s first shots were aimed toward a stage area, before he “worked his way” to “where the kids were,” he said, referring to 6-year-old Stephen Romero and 13-year-old Keyla Salazar, two of the three people he killed.

Legan finally turned his rifle toward Bates and his friends, who were sitting behind some food booths.

Bates says his instinct was to “jump on” his close friend Sarah Ordaz, and he ran for his life once he knew she was safe.

“I just heard bullets flying past me,” he told the Mercury News, recalling “a lot of heat on my legs” as he was injured.

“I was pretty sure that I was hit but I just knew I couldn’t worry about that because I needed to get out of there if I wanted to save my life.”

He listed numerous injuries to his legs, arms, back and butt, saying, “No matter what leg I put weight on, it hurts.”

His close friend, Ordaz’s boyfriend, Nick McFarland, was also hit in the leg.

McFarland called Legan a “military-grade guy coming to do some damage” with a “huge gun” and a “huge clip.”

“By the grace of God, I have come face to face with a gunman with half my family there, and we all walked away alive,” McFarland told ABC.
