"I was at work when I got the phone call that something happened at the house around 9:30. When I went to the house I found out that he was shot to the chest. He doesn't bother anybody; he stays at home because he has his own mechanic shop. It just was the friends that he had around him. He is stable. the bullet went through his lungs and came out through his lower back."
