Voice of: Shooting Victim
"Well, I was going to church, to a church meeting, and then a guy came up ahead of me on a bicycle, and when he came out of that street, he started shooting. But I dove to the left, and they got me by the foot. But the bullet just went in and then out, it didn't break any bones or anything. Everything is fine."
"The doctor says everything is fine, there's no danger, everything is fine."
