Teenage boy, 17, shot multiple times by rookie cop while eating cheeseburger in McDonald’s parking lot is on LIFE SUPPORT after major organs were punctured
A 17-year-old boy who was shot several times by a rookie cop as he sat in his car eating a McDonald’s cheeseburger is currently on life support after several of his organs were punctured during the shooting.
The family of Erik Cantu say the teenager has had to undergo a number of surgeries to repair major organs that were damaged by gunfire, according to attorney Brian Powers, who spoke to TMZ.
Cantu’s lungs are effectively being operated by the life support machine and he remains under sedation while his body takes the time it needs to recover.
Powers said that Cantu faces a long road to recovery but that his family are thankful for the prayers they have received.
The rookie San Antonio cop, James Brennand, 25, who shot Cantu, who was unarmed, has since been fired.
Brennand is a married former soldier who was commended for his firearm skills while in the police academy.
