"He's suffering from a lot of anxiety," Tracy Ma said. "He's in a lot of pain.
One shot hit Mason's left thigh and the other struck his left thigh. Tracy said while her brother was bleeding profusely, someone came up and stole his phone,"Snatched his phone, ran off with his phone and he was just bleeding out and people were just filming for who knows what," she said. Tracy said thankfully, an older woman came up to help him and called 911.She said doctors had to amputate her brother's injured finger.
"I'm not sure why you did this," Tracy said out loud to the person who deliberately shot her brother: "I know you will get caught." Karma will catch up with you eventually."No arrests have been made in the mass shooting. Tracy is focused on helping her brother recover.
