A Fort Worth mother is waiting to learn whether her 13-year-old will ever walk again after he was one of four people shot near Lake Worth Saturday in a seemingly random attack.
“We're just trying to get through it. We were told that Junior might not be able to walk. He doesn't feel from his waist down,” said Brillith Sanchez.
Last Saturday, Sanchez said Junior and his 14-year-old sister Leslie were with their aunt and cousin on their way to a party near Northwest Centre Drive and Buda Lane when two men they didn’t recognize opened fire. “It was a nightmare, sitting at home, getting a call from my daughter saying that they had got shot at,” she said.Sign up for NBC DFW newslettersShe said the children’s aunt managed to drive them to a safe location about a mile away where they could call an ambulance, even after she was shot in the arm.
Sanchez said Leslie suffered gunshot wounds to both legs and is now recovering at home. But for Junior, recovery could take months or even a year after one of those bullets struck his spinal cord.
