A week after being shot, one of the more than 30 people recovering from injuries in the Dadeville mass shooting is breaking his silence, speaking out from his hospital bed for the first time.
After being shot, Heard fell to the ground, “and I tried to get back up and the next thing I knew, I couldn’t. I was just laying on top of people.”
Heard is hurting but grateful to be alive. He’s surrounded by family, like his mother and grandmother who refuse to leave his side. “I won’t leave him. I never will,” explained Sharon Ware, Heard’s grandmother, “but the main thing, I ask people to please put the guns down. There’s no need for guns.”
