Man sustains facial injury after tragic accident

The son of "Big Frank" Schuler of Exit Realty Mountain View Properties in Murphy suffered a 30/30 gun shot wound to the face. Though he lost 90% of his face and his sight, he is alive. He has had four operations so far to rebuild his face and it is going well. The plastic surgeons say it will be about two years before they are finished working on Michael. Michael is 25 years old and the father of three girls from

one to six-years-old. He was raised in Ranger and graduated from Cherokee County NC schools. For additional information please visit www. prayabout.com:80/ requests/22532/ mike-was-shot.
