"You talk to him?"

Voice of: Melanie Staine
"Yes I spoke to him before he went into surgery. He told me that he and his friends were hanging out and a car came and they just started shooting at them."

Marion Ali, reporter
"Does he think that he was the one they were shooting after?"

Voice of: Melanie Staine
"I don't know because he didn't tell me. He didn't tell me if he had any problems with anybody."

Marion Ali, reporter
"This is not the same son that was with you on Monday when another incident occurred with your husband?"

Voice of: Melanie Staine
"No, he is not that son; this one is younger than the one that was here with me on that night."

Marion Ali, reporter
"There is no way that the two incidents could have been linked then?"

Voice of: Melanie Staine
"I don't think so. I don't think it's anything related to that that happen on Monday."

Marion Ali, reporter
"What have the doctors told you about his injuries; he was shot in the lower right back?"

Voice of: Melanie Staine
"Yes, in his lower right back but they have removed the bullet and now everything is okay. It's just that they have him on drips, he is on recovery but he will be okay."

Marion Ali, reporter
"How have this affected you personally because I know that earlier this week there was another incident and now this one?"

Voice of: Melanie Staine
"I really can't explain myself. I just feel empty, I don't know how to explain."
