Condition still critical

Wayne's condition as of this morning was the same. Critical but stable.

Hospital will say Wayne is not there, but he is there.

This is really messed up. Wayne is at North Fulton Hospital, but because it was a shooting and there is a police investigation they will ask who you are and when it turns out you are not a relative they will lie to you and say he is not there. I will post info about his condition when I get it. If you have info post it here as a comment or email it to me and I will post it.

Wayne is critical but stable

Latest news from the hospital is that Wayne is critical but stable. You can not get info from the hospital. They will only release info to relatives. I got this from Tom Joe who got it from Wayne's sister. It is a waste of time to call the hospital yourself. I am leaving here soon and will be gone until about 10pm, but will post anything new I learn then.

No info from hospital yet

Friday, 11:37 am. Cris has been on the phone but is not able to get any info from the hospital. Wayne may be in plastic surgery now. Apparently that is something that needs to be done right away.

People have called North Fulton Hospital and they have no record of him being there, so don't bother to call them. Later today one of us will call the detective and find out where he his. There is nothing much to find out at this point. He is in bad shape but alive. If will be a while before we know more. If you should learn anything please post it here as a comment.

Wayne Shot Himself

Last night, Thursday night, 7/19/2006, Cris Mills, Bill Porter and I (Tom Carr) were at Wayne Morris's apartment making a silly video, like some of the others we have made and put on youtube. You know Wayne likes to play with guns and do stupid things when he is drinking. While we were filming the video he put a shotgun in his mouth, that he thought was not loaded, and pulled the trigger. It was loaded. I watched it. It is the most horrible thing I have ever seen. I thought he was dead. We all went crazy. Cris dialed 911 but didn't know the address of the apartment. I ran out and beat on the door of the apartment next door, no one was home there, but I kept beating on doors and finally got someone to call 911. The police came, and an ambulance. I thought Wayne was dead but he crawled outside. They took him away on a stretcher. He is in North Fulton Hospital. I am not sure how bad his injuries are, or if he will live or what. The police came and asked us a bunch of questions. I guess they suspected we had shot him. The whole thing was on video though, and they watched the video and took statements from us and after a few hours told us we could go. We were all obviously in a state of shock and the police were supportive and helpful and kind. The main detective at first talked to the hospital and said the prognosis was not good, but then a hour later talked to them again and said it was not as bad as it looked at first. The shotgun blast may have gone over to the side and just blown away his check and the side of his face but not hit his brain or his eyes.

I am sending out this email to let some people know what happened, but I don't want to talk about it. Do not call me. I will call you in few days when the shock has worn off. I would guess Cris and Bill feel the same way. Do not call us. Let us digest this and we will talk about it in a few days.

Tom Joe was at work but the police called him and he came back. He is also probably in a state of shock and doesn't want to talk about it.
