as I saw him coming towards me and I I
saw the pursuit of ten or fifteen cars a
cop cars behind him and you know you
don't have time he's coming at me
quickly so I decided I would just head
him off and use my vehicle to to crash
into him and then you know the rest of
the pursuit would have him and but
unfortunately as I was turning in front
of him he held the a.k out the window
and shot three times hit my vehicle and
then got around me and the fourth round
went through the door and hit my femur
the femoral artery and the vein and and
then shot out various places and I was
pretty much done don't for the cab yeah
yeah I I remain conscious in and out and
then I didn't know I was in front of a
fire station so there's yeah absolutely
it was staff to be in there they happen
to be there they heard the shots they
they didn't hesitate
you know we teased fire a lot you know
and you know to clear the scene of what
now but but the scene was anything but
safe and they rushed out put a
tourniquet on my leg and got me to UNMH
yeah but mostly what hurts is the I have
nerve damage that my foot all sometimes
I'd have to be aware to lift it you know
how you trip on carpet I'll do that with
my the nerves in my footers do weird
walking yeah yeah so I have to be
mindful of the way I walk but yeah but
right now it's as good as it got one
bullet did all that damage well it was
60 by 39 yes
well and it was such a lucky shot - it's
like you give up because it actually
moving car because it went through the
door so it went through the door and a
hit where your your femur goes into the
sockets I hit yeah and so perfect shot
it was a perfect shot and then it shot
out the front and so yeah I was in the
hospital for two months for the first
couple weeks well for the first few
months they didn't know if I could keep
my leg because of all the I remember
they were talking about the vascular
damage it's just and then they did a
fasciotomy to save the leg
but then like I said that's why I was in
bed for months with my leg up just
waiting and I did get to keep it and it
all worked out but yeah I'll always have
you know some some pain but I look at it
as it reminds me I used to get a little
fed up with it but now I've accepted it
and it reminds me how lucky I am you
know I wouldn't be here I wouldn't have
met the people that I've met
