Glad to hear he's recovering and it didnt turn out for the worst!
Point of interest, thankfully it sounds like they were using cheap, FMJ ammo, and not self defense rounds. I was watching a drug documentary the other night and one of the guys on there was showing his arsenal off. The magazines were loaded with FMJ instead of JHP. That simple detail could potentially be the difference in the message you delivered to us. Thank God he's going to recover and it wasn't worse than it was. I hate you and your family, and him, had to go through this scare and trauma.
