SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) - An Army soldier recovering from injuries suffered in a suicide bombing in Afghanistan has been shot at his homecoming party, and family members say he's paralyzed and in critical condition.

Christopher Sullivan, 22, was shot late Friday while trying to break up a fight between his brother and another man at a San Bernardino, Calif., residence.

"My son didn't deserve this. He served his country," his mother, Suzanne Sullivan, told the San Bernardino Sun ().http://bit.ly/sjycMA

Suzanne Sullivan said her son suffered two gunshot wounds to his back, which shattered his spine. Family members told the newspaper that the shooting late Friday left Sullivan paralyzed and in critical condition.

4. We've cut mental health services

Funny how we always have money for wars and prisons, but not for mental health services, including substance abuse treatment.

9. What did this have to do with mental health services?

While that is a problem area, it's totally irrelevant to this story.
