According to USA Today, police said that four people suffered gunshot wounds.
Rickey said that he was grateful that everyone survived the incident. He said, “I want you to see that it’s raw, and it’s real. I want you to see what parents have to deal with when their children become victims of gun violence – the raw feeling, the [expletive] you have to go through.”

Even Aaryn Smiley talked about her experience in a tweet on Monday night. She said, “I could’ve lost my life yesterday. If it was another hollow tip bullet, and the metal didn’t stop it from coming into the car where my head was, I would be dead. I’m so grateful there’s only 4 bullet holes. I’m so grateful that it was a regular bullet and not like the one in my leg.”
We wish you a speedy recovery Aaryn.
