He was shot by them while trying to fight back. 　44 , Jerry was found relatively quickly and 　45 to the local trauma(外伤) center. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Jerry was released 　46 the hospital with fragments of the bullets 　47 in his body.

I saw Jerry about six months after the 　48 . Jerry told me something happening in the ER( 急诊室). He said, “… the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine.

In their eyes, I 　51 ‘he’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take 　52 .” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, there was a nurse shouting questions at me,” said Jerry. “She asked 　53 I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes,’ I replied.
