USC Shooting Victim Throws out First Pitch

(WOLO) COLUMBIOA,S.C., — Martha Childress may have lost use of her legs, but did not lose her spirit as she flashed her trademark smile while throwing out the first pitch of the game. Gamecock Head Coach Chad Holbrook presented Childress with a Gamecock Jersey donning her name and her favorite number, lucky number 7 along with a one thousand dollar check to help pay for her continued rehabilitation. Childress was shot 5 months ago while waiting for a cab near the Five Points Fountain. That shooting left her paralyzed. The suspect accused in the shooting remains behind bars tonight.
