El Segundo shooting victim gets a job
Devan Jackson, the bystander shot in the leg in the April 11 gunbattle between police and a gang member at the El Segundo theaters, has finally found a job.Remember how he was fired from his position at an El Segundo travel agency a few days after he was shot in the leg, causing him to miss work?
Well, Devan let me know today that he's working on clients' cases for attorney Larry H. Parker of "Larry H. Parker got me $2.1 million" fame. Devan is finishing up his first week at Parker's office in Long Beach.
Devan and I have e-mailed each other a few times since I interviewed him and he's definitely a good man.
Although he still has a bullet in his leg, he's on the road to complete recovery.
He sent this along today:
"I knew I would be OK. God is capable of getting you through anything. You must just keep faith. Mom always tells me things will get better before they get worse."
