A Navy veteran is now paralyzed after his family says he was ambushed while driving home from work on I-5.
On Feb. 20, more than 20 bullets hit Evan Hershey's car as he drove down the freeway near Tukwila. His family is now asking for your help to catch the person or people responsible. Evan's brother, Adam Hershey, estimates that he was going around 60 mph when the bullets came flying into his brother's car. He feels his brother's quick thinking and military training likely saved his life. Now his family is hoping to raise money to help him recover.
"He was struck twice in the body, and once in the knee, and then once in the flank. That particular pathway went through his kidney, destroying it, and then it went into his spinal cord," said Adam. Since the shooting, the once-avid bodybuilder has been adjusting to limited mobility. Evan's family has created an online fundraiser to retro-fit his home for a wheelchair.
