Shooter apologizes to girl he left paralyzed

I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand you have a person carelessly and without regard to the consequences fooling around with a gun. It's not clear to me why Anthony Warren had it in the first place. Whatever the case, you don't go shooting a gun off in a city neighborhood. Period. Kai Leigh will never walk again. Warren will one day walk out of prison.

On the other hand, he didn't mean to do what he did. And we have someone taking responsibility for his actions and trying to do some good as a result. Anthony Warren participated in the video for Boston's Peace Month with 9 other inmates in an attempt to reach out to other teens. The story is here. There's a video here.

While Kai may never walk again, I think she'll do just fine.
