Hey everyone!! Heard our Dez started this thread so I thought I would pop in and let everyone know I was doing ok and give a brief rundown of events..... I was shot Tuesday night Wednesday morning during a car break in at my home..... A little after 3:30 am I was on the couch reading when my dogs started barking and we heard something out front... I didn't think much about it because I have 2 neighbors that come home late from work often... But when I went to look 2 individuals was breaking into my Jeep..... I hollered and chased them off they ran across the street into the church parking lot and a third individual ran from a couple houses down as well..... They got into a vehicle took off and as they passed in front of the house they fired atleast 2 shots.... One striking me and one going through the front window who my oldest coming out of his room to see what was going on was right across from....... After self checking and determining I wasn't going to bleed out I came back into the house son was dialing 911 and gave them the address I took the phone gave a description of the vehicle and the 3 guys.... Cops was on scene almost immediately and they had first contact with the suspects within 5-10 minutes.. who fled from the vehicle when stopped... They caught the driver and it snowballed from there and over the next couple hours got the shooter and a day or so later caught the third individual.....Kids are safe we are blessed I was the only one struck with 3 kids in the house at the time.... I was struck in my upper inner thigh almost In the groin... Was so blessed because it was darn close to the femoral artery..... Just resting and healing up now.....Sorry I didn't get to hang out with you all this year at all but... Well that's life sometimes!!!There are pictures on my profile on Facebook under a couple threads that are public if anyone wants to see what a .45 does.....Also thanks for the well wishes and prayers it means a lot!!!!!
