SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — An Army soldier who survived a suicide bombing while serving in Afghanistan has been left paralyzed after being shot at his homecoming party in Southern California.
Christopher Sullivan, 22, was shot late Friday while trying to break up a fight between his brother and another man at a San Bernardino residence.
"My son didn't deserve this. He served his country," his mother, Suzanne Sullivan, told the San Bernardino Sun
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. 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 home on leave when the shooting occurred.
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.

 

darn shame.

Makes me wonder what is a man fighting for when he is safer in a war zone than in his own country.

 

Very sad.

 

Just awful to read that.

Fuck violence

 

That is a damned shame. Senseless.

 

That person who shot that peacekeeper should be put in jail for life. It is sad he had to encounter that in a civillian setting.

 

RIP man. Damn shame.

 

Last report I read stated that he's paralyzed and in critical condition... Did he die?

 

either way that's a bullshit scenario

for any warrior to come back home and die (or get shot/paralyzed) where it's supposed to be safe, is horseshit

then the mothafucka that was involved fled....hope he rots

 

Cosign... When they catch the perp, they need to drop his ass in Pakistan or Afghanistan...
