As hundreds of brokenhearted kids filed
into John Peter Smith Hospital,
one very powerful man was coming
out and he was just as baffled as
the kids.
I wish I knew the law to make people love
one another.
We'd pass it in Texas, we'd pass it
in Texas.
The truth is, right now, no one can
adequately explain why 16 year old
Justin Laird was shot by a madman,
why the football player is now paralyzed
from the shoulders down.
I can only say that with hard work, he
may be able to walk again free.
He's a tough kid and he's taking it very
well.
We're again, hoping that there is some
recovery is still too early to say,
but it's a tough situation.
Some friends alternate between saying
prayers and being angry.
He had goals in his life.
He could have made it with football.
And now he wrecked someone else's life
because his life was going what, you want
it to go?
Thirty six year old Jeff Lastra may still
be able to accomplish his goals,
downgraded from critical to serious.
But Hope ran out for Christie Felkel
early this morning.
The 14 year old died from a gunshot
wound to the head.
Today, kids crammed into a blood donation
center to offer their help to the living.
Justin Layard's friends have donned his
Jersey number as they prayed for
what they believe is the inevitable.
Yeah, he's going to walk again.
I know.
How does the.
