More information was released today about Kafani’s injuries. The shots hit him in the spine and the chest and it is a miracle that he is still holding on. The doctors have pumped as much blood into him as possible and have performed many surgeries to keep him alive. They are not sure if he will have full mobility because of the spinal injuries if he survives this tragic attack. At this point doctors expect Kafani to pull through, however the damages could change his career for good.
