My cousin's oldest son (one of twins) was shot twice in the chest last night, attempting to stop an armed robbery. He is Army, was off-base with friends at a restaurant.

They are medical unit, so they immediately CPR'd him and stopped bleeding. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital.

We just got word from his mother. She flew to his bedside this morning. Doc said the bullets missed vital organs (her words), yet she said they hit both lungs (how those aren't vital, I don't exactly know, though I do know what she meant).

I'm praying for a quick and full recovery. The kid just graduated HS a couple years ago.

On edit: Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers. No real change today. They were hoping to take him off of the breathing machines today, but that didn't happen. He's still in the civilian hospital. They won't be able to move him to a military hospital until that happens. Thank you all again!

10. Vital immediately fatal if they get hit

like major arteries, the heart, and the brain. He'll have tubes and wires all over the place and be in a world of hurt right now, but lung shots are survivable if the pulmonary arteries aren't hit. The recovery won't be quick, but eventually it should be full. His youth is definitely in his favor.

I hope they get the shooter off the street quickly and keep him off until he's an old man with no interest in guns.
