• HAD TO HAVE HIS HAND IMITATED. (I am sure she meant amputated) PEGGY: HE IS BLISSFULLY UNAWARE OF WHAT HAPPENED, HIS DAD POSITIVES. >> HE IS DOING ALL RIGHT. HE IS A LITTLE THING BUT HE IS GOING THROUGH A LOT. PEGGY: EARLY SATURDAY, HE WAS IN HIS CAR SEAT IN THE BACKSEAT OF HIS PARENTS SUV. HIS MOTHER HAD JUST FINISHED A SECOND SHIFT THAT WALMART, HER WAY HOME WHEN SHE SAW BULLETS FLYING. THEY FLEW RIGHT INTO HER VEHICLE.SHE SAYS SHE BELIEVES SHE WAS CAUGHT IN THE COS RO SSFIRE OF ANOTHER ARGUMENT. HE'S THE ONE WHO PAYS THE PRICE. HE IS GETTING REGULAR DOSES OF PAINKILLERS WHILE HIS PARENTS ARE SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS. SHOTS EARLY WILL THE POLICE EVER FIND THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE? SHOOTERS IN. BUT HE SAYS HE AND HIS WIFE ONLY HAVE THE ENERGY TO WATCH OVER HIM RIGHT NOW WHILE ALSO CARING FOR THEIR OTHER FIVE CHILDREN. THEY SAY H I STILL BEING HERE IS A MIRACLES. >> I'M GRATEFUL THAT HE'S ALIVE
