The other victim of that wild shooting who we got to meet today is 54 year-old Enfield Henry. One of the bullets ricocheted off the ground and hit him in the eye. He's at the KHMH getting medical treatment, and that bullet is lodged behind the eyeball.
Today, at the KHMH, he told us that he was an innocent bystander, who wasn't involved in that confrontation with the police, but he got injured in that reckless shooting:
Enfield Henry, Injured in Police Confrontation
"I was in the night club with my son and the off-duty police officers were in the night club too and when it closes, everybody came out from the club. Right there 2 Spanish guys wanted to fight with the police officers who was on duty."
"I was trying to ease them off, but they insisted to have fight with the officers. The police officer Norman, ask the two officers to arrest the guys. I was away on the street talking to my son and that was when the first two shots fired. I turn around and heard about 3-4 shots fired. That was probably when I got hit. The police officer was shooting on the ground. I turn around and I felt my face numb and warm."
"I told my son that I got shot. My son call the police and said "Norman you shot my father." and then the police said "why would I shot your father for." The police came over and try to assist me and when he saw me in blood, he took me in the police vehicle and took me to the polyclinic."
"If they shoot off a warning shot, I think they are supposed to be train that a warning shot shoots in the air."

"Well I think so. When he came on Saturday to see me, my eye was swollen up. So he only ordered the treatment to give me and then today we was to come back to see me. But according to what the x-ray is showing is that the bullet is in the back of the eye."
"I want to see if I can get support from the police, because all this while I will not be working and who will be supporting me and even this hospital bill. I think it's their duty to deal with that or at least help me out until I could start to work again."
