Former champ Hector 'Macho' Camacho shot, may be paralyzed

Former world champion boxer Hector "Macho" Camacho is in serious but stable condition after being shot in the face in Puerto Rico. He was sitting in a car in the city of Bayamon when an unknown assailant shot both Camacho and his passenger, a 50-year-old man who died from his injuries. Although it was initially reported that Camacho had suffered a brain injury, doctors at San Juan's Centro Medico hospital say that the bullet went through his jaw, exited his head and shattered two vertebrae. There is a chance, they said, that he will be paralyzed. “Camacho's condition is extremely delicate,'' Dr. Ernesto Torres said. ''His physical condition will help him but we will see.'' [Source]
