I don't know anybody involved in the following story, but I get a weird feeling about it.  If I were shot and ran away, I wouldn't go to simply hide in a parking lot and then return back to the car injured to drive myself to the hospital.  I would have run into the store, looked for help and have them call 911 if I did not have a cell phone.  Does anybody else think something just doesn't add up, like maybe a deal gone wrong?  Please give me your thoughts. 

Man Shot Numerous Times Outside McDonald's McDonald's or just enabling jstl so that we can just write ${bean.property} and jsp takes care of the new lines. -->
The family of a man shot in the face after leaving McDonald's on 75th Street near I-35 said he'll never be the same.

Overland Park police said the victim stopped at the McDonald's to use the bathroom around 7:20 Monday night.  But before he could get back inside his car, police said someone shot him.

"It can happen to anybody, any time, any where," the victim's step-father Chris Campbell said.

Overland Park police said the victim, headed to his car, was approached by a man asking for money and then a ride.

"At that point the victim sees the man is holding a gun, he takes off running," Jim Weaver with Overland Park Police said. "As he's running away he hears a popping noise and he can't hear out of one ear. He continues to run, he realized he's been hit a again."

Police said the victim ran down a driveway towards the JcPenney parking lot to get away, but the shooter kept firing.  Police said the victim was shot in his chin, cheek, arm and leg but was able to run back to his car and drive across the street to Shawnee Mission Medical Center.  He's since been moved.
 
"There is one bullet wound to his head which kind of took out his lower jaw which will require surgery," Campbell said.

"It's a pretty dangerous person," Weaver said. "Usually if the person runs away from you and you don't have any more to gain you didn't get the car, you didn't get the money, but this guy stood there and shot at this guy multiple times."

Police said the 33-year-old victim is expected to survive.  Police hope the restaurant's surveillance video will lead them to the shooter.  If you have information about this case call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS.
