FOX 26 Reporter Damali Keith spoke with the woman who shared the scary day back in 1997.She was just 13-years-old when someone opened fire into her school bus as she was headed home from HISD’s Lanier Middle School. Now, Halloween is no longer a holiday, but the day Crystal Munks was shot.
So even on a rainy day like today, it’s a beautiful one for this childhood shooting victim, who is marking the 25th anniversary of surviving being shot on her school bus on October 31, 1997. The bus was left riddled with bullet holes that day in 1997. An 8th grader, Crystal, and her schoolmates were heading home from HISD’s Lanier Middle and a group of boys on bikes, who were never caught, surrounded the school bus. At least one of them opened fire, leaving one little girl grazed by a bullet and Munks was shot.
She was able to get out a few words to arriving paramedics who saved her life, saying, "I don’t want to die. I’m 13. I want to live."
