My friend Joe Rudd is the guy that was carjacked and shot in the head in Columbus on his way home from our class reunion. He's a great father and a great person and if you guys can keep him in your thoughts and prayers it would mean a lot to me.

We spent a lot of time catching up this past weekend and he didn't take one breath without talking about his son or how proud he was to be able to help keep out country safe by designing and building various laser systems for the military and various space programs. This kind if thing shouldn't happen to anyone but its especially painful when it happens to someone you know and respect the hell out of.

Any Animals in the Ohio area that could pm me any local sites that are more up to date than google would be greatly appreciated.

I'm thinking that The Columbus Dispatch may be the best way to follow... Hoping and praying for a positive outcome!!!

One of our high school classmates is a police officer and made some inquiries. Apparently he was shot right under his left eye and the bullet hit his cheekbone and shattered which actually saved his life. He has a trach tube in and won't be conscious until tomorrow But it's much better than it could've been. They also don't expect any neurological or vision issues.

Wow... Thank God... I'm at a loss for words other than it's nothing short of a miracle... I know that word is thrown around a lot, but in this case it's definitely worthy...

Thanks for the update Jeremy...

Just a quick update on my buddy. He seems to have come out of surgery ok but I haven't heard any more since then. The news finally ran a good story on him and I hope his story keeps getting out.

I shared it on Facebook, that is crazy. Especially madison county, that is a country town or so I thought. I know it is where EliteFTS is out of and where most of my family lived as a kid.
