In Oakland, California; Fifth-grader Christopher Rodriguez was injured by a gun shot, while practicing his piano lessons. Across the street from his music school was a chevron where Jared Adams, 24, allegedly raised his gun at the station attendent during a hold-up which is when he fired his gun shots. "The bullet ripped through the walls of Christopher's classroom striking him in his side, piercing his kidney and spleen and lodging in his spine. The bullet barely missed the 10-year-old's heart".Doctors told his family that he was going to be paralized from the waist down for the rest of his life.
Before the shots had even hit him Christopher's mother had been waiting outside for him. But not only did she hear the gun shots but they were close to hitting her too, but did hit her car. Which she thought were noises as someone was throwing rocks at her SUV, and as soon as she did notice it was gunshots she raced to her sons lesson room. and saw him lying on the floor saying, "I can't feel my legs! I can't feel my legs!". And know him and his parents will suffer a challenging life, when he wasn't doing a thing wrong.
