On the morning of the 14th he’d come back in town from visiting his biological dad at the time. And so for me to get shot on that 12th of February and then within 48 hours my Father would commit suicide. I almost died, I lost most of my blood laying there waiting for the ambulance to come and pick me up. It hit my right shoulder, ricocheted off my collar bone and hit my spinal cord and paralyzed my legs. So we were like ‘Oh my God, who’s gon’ break-up these adults?’ And when he said I’m going get my gun, we just started running and everybody said ‘get outta here.’ He looked up the sidewalk and came to lift me up and I thought he (the neighbor who used him as a shield) was coming to get me, and I begin to yell because he wouldn’t let me go and behold the man came out and stopped in the middle of the street and pulled the trigger. One got hit…we saw when he got hit in the mouth and that was pretty interesting to us because the closest thing we ever saw to anything happening like that was cartoons. One lived across the street from my Grandmother and these two older men began fighting, I think they were playing cards or something, got into an argument, had been drinking that day and uh, got into a major fight you know. They lived right next door to my Grandmother’s house and we were passing their house skating, uh, riding bikes and things. I didn’t know him personally, my Grandparents did. Getting shot at 6 years old…I could not imagine! That had to have been devastating and did you know the person who used you as a shield?
