Description
The family of a military veteran is worried that he won't ever walk again after he was shot while driving on I-5 near Tukwila on Feb. 19. They say the 35-year-old was shot at nearly 20 times, and a couple of those bullets hit him.
"Right now, the only thing we can do it have faith in Evan,” said Adam Hershey, Evan’s brother.
He said Evan is someone who has spent much of his life serving others, joining the Navy soon after he graduated from high school.
Now, Evan's focus is on recovering from what happened on that February night just before 11 p.m. He was driving on I-5 in Tukwila when his family says he was the victim of a random ambush.
"When the bullet struck him, it took out his kidney and landed in his spinal cord,” said Adam Hershey. "He was receiving fire from an unknown direction at a high rate of speed, and he managed to, without the use of his legs, make a controlled stop not only saving his own vehicle, managing to avoid collisions with others."
