A man is in critical condition at the KHMH tonight after he was shot in the head this morning. Micah Williams has had a few notable run - in's with the law over the years, making the news for being caught in some fairly large weed busts, one time even getting shot by police. But this morning, it wasn't weed that got him shot - two men came to his yard looking for car rims. His mother today told Monica Bodden where the sale turned into attempted murder:...

"The diagnosis is like 50/50 chance of life right now. We are praying for him and hope that everything will be okay and we wish him all the best. We all pray and I put it in the church because I went back to my church - I joined church and so I left everything on my pastor's hands. We have a lot of prayers our right now, all on Facebook. I think the prayers will help. God said his prayers can move mountains and I know that's a big mountain and he's going to move that mountain for me through his faith and his power he will. I don't have hopes that he is going to die, but through the almighty he will make it. I don't care if he is a vegetable or what, but I will take care of him because that's my child."
Monica Bodden reporting
Family and friends of 28 year old Micah Williams gathered outside the KHMH emergency room this morning -consoling one another - and praying that the young man pull through despite all odds.
Williams was shot to head in his yard on Racoon Street Extension around 8:45 this morning.
According to police, 2 men approached him inside his yard inquiring about vehicle rims he had for sale.
As the men were leaving, one of them pulled out a handgun and shot Williams in the head.
He was rushed to the KHMH and is now on life support - given only a 50 percent chance of survival.

"What happed this morning after he went to drop off his girlfriend at work, two suspects rode up to him on bicycles and ask him about 2 rims that he was selling and he told them that somebody already bought it, but that the person will come later. The men just rode off and one of them shot him and went."
And while Williams mother is hoping for the best, she is outraged at the law.

"I am shocked because I always said that mothers who their got shot, I use to wonder how that feels because even though it was not my kid I still cry, but I never knew that I would join the happy bands too."
"What I want to do is to send out a message to the Prime Minister to please try to catch all these killers and lock them up or hang them. I think if they start to hang, this will stop because everyone will feel that when they do a crime they will go. The suggestion is best they start to hang people."
No arrests have been made.
