Georgia firefighter defies odds, returns to work after being shot 14 times


A Georgia firefighter and medic defied the odds after being shot 14 times and being told by doctors he would not be able to work again. SHIRT WITH $8G IN POCKET ACCIDENTALLY DONATED TO GOODWILL“Getting back to this point is almost unheard of and I wish I could think of the words to express how happy I am,” said College Park Firefighter Eddie Baker. Eddie Baker’s neighbor, Taylor Carthern, shot him several times outside his College Park home in December of 2014. After two years of difficult work and perseverance, he was able to come back to the firehouse. “Everyone donated probably over two years of vacation time to him, so he did not miss a check while he was out,” said College Park Fire Chief Wade Elmore.
