'Payton is a strong young lady,' her coach, Felecia Mulkey, said. 'She is making good progress, even in a short period of time. She seemed to be doing well, but there's still a long way to go.'
Police say Payton Washington was one of two Woodlands Elite cheerleaders hit when someone opened fire near a grocery store outside Austin. One man is in custody.Payton Washington, the Woodlands Elite cheerleader who was shot when a suspect opened fire after one of her teammates got into the wrong car, is making "great strides," according to her coach.
On Thursday, Felecia Mulkey, the head acrobatics and tumbling coach at Baylor Athletics, issued a statement with updates on the young athlete. "Payton is a strong young lady; if you know her, you know that about her. I have no doubt she's going to get through this. She's an amazing athlete but a better human, and that's why she's a part of our Baylor family. My prayers are with Payton and her teammates that were involved in Monday night's tragic event, I know mental wounds also leave scars. We want to lift up the athletes and their families during this difficult time.
Just after midnight, cheerleader Heather Roth said she got out of her friend's car and opened the door to a vehicle she believed to be her own in the H-E-B parking lot. Roth said there was a man sitting in the passenger seat, so she initially panicked, thinking a stranger was inside her car, and got back into her friend's vehicle.When she noticed the man approach their vehicle, she said she rolled down the window to apologize, telling him she thought it was her car. Roth said the man threw up his hands, pulled out a gun, and started shooting.Copyright © 2023 KTRK-TV. All Rights Reserved.
