Dylann Roof committed a heinous act on Wednesday night, killing nine at a church in Charleston. His ominous Facebook profile photo is being widely circulated.

There is one comment on that photo. It is from this man, Marcus Stanley, a 30-year-old, award winning gospel musician from Virginia. Marcus has also been shot, eight times. According to his website: Marcus was shot 8 times at point blank range with a .45 caliber automatic weapon while touring as an initiation act by gang members.

Due to the shooting, Marcus became temporarily paralyzed on his right side, lost the ability to walk, and leaving one bullet permanent lodged near his spine. With God’s grace and mercy, Marcus was successfully able to regain the strength to walk and recover most of the feeling in his right arm.
