injuries suffered in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan has been shot at
his homecoming party, and family members say he's paralyzed and in
critical condition.
Christopher Sullivan, 22, was shot late Friday while trying to break
up a fight between his brother and another man at a San Bernardino,
Calif., residence.
"My son didn't deserve this. He served his country," his mother,
Suzanne Sullivan, told the San Bernardino Sun (http://bit.ly/sjycMA).
Suzanne Sullivan said her son suffered two gunshot wounds to his back,
which shattered his spine. Family members told the newspaper that the
shooting late Friday left Sullivan paralyzed and in critical
condition.
Police said Sullivan's brother and a partygoer got into an argument
over football. When Sullivan moved to intervene, the man pulled a gun
and opened fire.
The gunman fled the scene before police arrived.
Sullivan was wounded in a suicide bombing attack last year in Kandahar
while serving with the 101st Infantry Division. He suffered a cracked
collar bone and brain damage in the attack and has been recovering in
Kentucky where he is stationed. He was awarded a Purple Heart.
Sullivan was home on leave when the shooting occurred.
"To come home to this, it's so unfair," his aunt Theresa Marquez told
the newspaper.
His enlistment would be complete in April, after which Sullivan had
planned to come home to go to college.
Family members are calling on the shooter to surrender.
Police have not identified the suspect.
Revelation 13:16
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and
bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
Isaiah 1:28- And the destruction of the transgressors and of the
sinners shall be together, and they that forsake the LORD shall be
consumed
Deut 32:39- See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me:
I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any
that can deliver out of my hand.
