Calgary man paralyzed after attempting to stop fleeing suspect, tells his story

A Calgary man shot point-blank during a confrontation in the city’s southeast in July is sharing details of the harrowing experience that severed his spinal cord and left him in a wheelchair.

Nick Langridge said he was about to turn out the lights and go to sleep at around 4 a.m. on Sunday, July 4, when the power to his mobile home went out and he heard a loud bang.

When he went outside he found two of his neighbours at the Oasis Mobile Home park also investigating. It was then that they heard another loud noise and saw a stranger walk into the park.

They asked the man what he was doing and Langridge said he mumbled something and started walking away. They followed the stranger, who began to run.

Little did Langridge know that his decision would change his life. Sarah Offin has the rest of the story.
