For citizens of Klamath falls. Update on the 2 men shot in the incident are doing well. # 1. (myself), is making a speedy recovery and will not stop pushing towards being back and as healthily as before incident. #2. My friend and also a victim of the same shooting is, currently doing good but sadly, May never walk again. We both thank with all our respect to anyone who have taken part in assisting in the speedy response and decisive and dedication to helping us with medical help and thoughtful training or smart decisions, which I for one was able to not only have my life saved but, which resulted in also making it possible, even though surgeons had a challenging and tough time doing, in also saving my leg. Thank you all. (E.R. victim of shooting).
