I believe kid is still blind in one eye from the attack.

He’s still got one eye to keep on the ball.

But, the kid is fine?

He’s blind in one eye because the optic nerve is still swollen/damaged.

This happened about a week ago. Local hospital couldn’t handle the damage so had to go to Houston.

Damn right yall are, glad I live in south LC.

Helper Clown confessed that things went sideways and trigger man was recorded on camera at local Planet Fitness that he put “that kill shot” on the punk that transferred in from Barbe. Apparently trigger Clown’s mom is a teacher at Sulphur High and dad is connected. Reason zero press yet for what could be attempted murder. Trigger clown is 18.

Ok shooter’s dad.

The pull to keep it quiet probably means money. I'd take junior to court and make mother and father of the year go into their pockets.

No existen actualizaciones en los medios de comunicación públicos ni informes sobre el estado médico a largo plazo de Kayden McArthur tras la cobertura inicial de su lesión.

Debido a que era menor de edad en ese momento y el incidente ocurrió fuera de un evento escolar oficial, la información posterior sobre su recuperación médica completa, la restauración de su visión o su vida personal se ha mantenido en completa privacidad por parte de su familia. Las últimas declaraciones públicas de su familia a finales de 2019 solo se centraron en su plan de recuperación inmediato y estricto para salvar su ojo derecho después de recibir múltiples impactos.

That’s 2019

Sulphur has a history of paintball tragedy.

In October 2019, Sulphur High School junior Kayden McArthur was shot in the eye with a paintball gun. The impact nearly caused the loss of an eye. The incident required an intensive recovery period, during which Kayden faced strict physical restrictions, such as being unable to run, lift objects over 10 pounds, or lie down flat

In September 2012, seventeen-year-old Brandon Spangler was tragically shot and killed during a family paintball outing in Sulphur, Louisiana, when a nearby farmer mistook the rustling in the trees for coyotes and fired a real gun.

In October 2005, a 37-year-old mother, Colette Contois, was killed instantly at her son's 10th birthday party in Sulphur. A teenager was breaking down his paintball marker when the tank valve failed, launching the CO2 canister directly into the back of her head.

In September 1998, a 14-year-old girl named Jorel Lynn Travis in Sulphur, Louisiana was standing outside a local ice cream parlor with friends, Travis was targeted in a drive-by prank by a 15-year-old riding in a passing car who fired a paintball gun into the crowd. Travis was struck directly in the eye, which left her permanently blinded in that eye. This incident culminated in a historic legal battle; the first paintball-related product liability lawsuit ever tried in the United States. The defense successfully argued that the manufacturer and retailer (Walmart) were not at fault for the malicious misuse of the equipment.

In October 1991, 14-year-old Leland Harold "Trey" Cooley III was tragically struck in the temple at the Sulphur Pistol & Revolver Club in Louisiana. The incident earned the nickname "Magic Paintball" due to the highly improbable and bizarre trajectory the fatal paintball traveled. Trey was sitting inside a spectator lobby behind an indoor air-gun range, watching a competitive shooting match that his father was judging. Out of nowhere, he was struck in the head by a stray paintball. Because he was inside a closed building surrounded by heavy safety walls, concrete, and protective barriers, the origin of the paintball was initially a complete mystery.

Using advanced ballistics testing, laser tracking, and computer animation, forensic investigators pieced together a nearly impossible path. A competitor on an outdoor pistol range was firing a modified high-powered paintball handgun. During rapid fire, the gun experienced a "double discharge" or "double recoil," causing a second paintball to accidentally fire upward at a sharp angle.

In the infancy of paintballs, the rounds were much sturdier and far more dangerous. The paintball cleared the outdoor range's protective overhead wooden safety baffles and dirt berm by just a few inches. The paintball traveled downrange and struck the exterior aluminum siding of the building housing the air-gun range. It punched through the siding, entered an upper storage area, passed through an interior drywall, hit a ceiling tile, skidded, and deflected downward through a plaster wall, finally striking Trey in the temple.
