Marshall redshirt freshman defensive tackle Larry Aaron is paralyzed after being shot in the back by stray gunfire during a New Year's Eve party Monday morning in Severn, Maryland, his mother, Melissa Aaron, told the Herald-Dispatch of Huntington, West Virginia.
"It is in his spine and he has no feeling in his legs," Melissa Aaron told the Herald-Dispatch. "They can't remove it because they are afraid it could be dangerous and hinder him even more to do so. It is right in the middle of his spine."
Melissa Aaron told the Herald-Dispatch that Marshall running back Tyler King and linebackers Jaquan Yulee and Donyae Moody drove to Maryland to visit Larry Aaron, and that her son was alert and speaking with them Monday evening.
