What is wrong with Frank Gardener of the BBC news?
On 6 June 2004, while reporting from a suburb of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Gardner was shot six times and seriously injured in an attack by apparent al-Qaeda sympathisers.[4] His colleague cameraman Simon Cumbers was shot dead. Of the five bullets which hit Gardner in his torso (the sixth bullet passed straight through his shoulder) all missed his major organs yet one hit his spinal cord and he was left paralysed from the waist down. However, after several months of rehabilitation he returned to reporting for the BBC in mid-2005. He is now a wheelchair user. [5] Despite his injury, he still occasionally reports from the field including places like Afghanistan[6] but usually comments on top stories from a BBC studio.
