Help a hurt Houston deputy - 10/05/07 12:45 PM
Moderators, if this is an inappropriate post, please deleate it.
Deputy Piotr (Pete) Cupial is a friend of mine who got shot three times on Sept. 18th when responding to a 911 call. One bullet grazed his abdomen, one bullet got lodged in his handcuffs. The third bullet shattered his fermur, leaving him possibly crippled for life. The shooter was an adult male who had just killed his mom. After shooting Pete the gunman killed himself (yay!).
Pete's medical bills are paid for but he'll be out of work for a minimum of four months. During that time his only income will be a small amount from Workman's Comp. Once he has healed it's unlikely that he'll be able to continue working as a deputy (or moonlighting as a security guard) as he will never be able to run again. In light of this a fundraiser for him will be taking place in Tomball, Texas on Oct. 28th. Details below.
If anyone in the area could attend many blessings would fall upon your head. Plus, you'd get to meet me!
