6-Year-Old Girl Believes She Will Walk Again After Being Shot During Road Rage

A 6- year-old girl is holding out on faith that she’ll be able to walk again after being shot in a road rage incident.

Onyx Sands of Louisville Kentucky was shot after 3 motorcycles and a vehicle were involved in a road rage dispute. Nearly 15 rounds were fired from at least 3 different weapons.

The incident started in the area of Interstate 65 and Outer Loop on July 11. According to police, the vehicle and the motorcycles continued down the highway, where another exchange happened on the off-ramp to University Boulevard. More shots were fired.

The shooting occurred just days after Onyx’s 6th birthday. She is now unable to walk after bullets struck her spine, and has undergone several surgeries. “They reevaluate every week,” said Chyna Sands, her mother. “Rehab is trying to teach her to redirect her arm muscles and core strength.”

Unfortunately Onyx is now afraid to get in the car. “She thinks if she gets in the car, she’s going to get shot again,” Chyna said. “That’s hard for me because we’re always on the go, and that’s not something I can fix for her.”

Despite doctors saying she’ll most likely never be able to walk again, Onyx believes the opposite.

“I’ll be able to walk again, I know I will..I believe I’ll be able to walk to walk again,” she said. No arrests have been made in connection to the shooting so far.
