Game of kickball turns into ‘really bad nightmare’ for Philadelphia woman now paralyzed after shooting
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (KYW) Just 10 days ago, a terrifying ordeal. Chopper 3 flew over the basketball court at Hancock Rec Center, where a woman and a 16-year-old had been shot. Now, we’re hearing from the woman paralyzed after she was shot on the playground after a game of kickball with her friends.
Ten days ago, Amanda Lyons was a “normal” 35-year-old wife and health care professional, but a game of kickball with her friends and a stray bullet changed that. Lyons’ story is putting a face on the devastation gun violence causes so many innocent people across the city.
