One of the victims in last week’s Aurora, Colorado movie theater shooting was Caleb Medley, an aspiring comedic performer who recently moved to Denver to further his career. In a matter of seconds, Caleb’s life completely changed.

When gunfire rang out in the theater, Caleb was one of the patrons injured. Caleb’s injuries are very grave – he was shot in the face and has had to have his right eye removed. Doctors have also said that he is brain damaged. He will require ongoing medical care and will be in the ICU for at least two more weeks. Caleb does not have health insurance. The huge expenses of Caleb’s care will likely be millions of dollars.
Caleb’s wife Katie was scheduled to be induced to give birth to their first son last Sunday. Katie, who was in the theater with Caleb, was uninjured. Katie gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Hugo on Tuesday.
