00:00no matter how many times we tell you don't sell stuff on facebook marketplace don't meet up with
00:09people but you don't listen you're trying to get some money or a quick deal or whatever it is
00:14well a teen who was selling a scooter on facebook marketplace what do you think could have went
00:22wrong there did he get stabbed uh worse he got shot in the head oh my god shot
00:29in the head during a scooter sale like what kind of scooter though motorized one let's find out here's
00:36the story from wkrn tv i i literally fell to my knees in the living room i was he's gone a person
00:44does not get shot in the head and walk away so i immediately assumed you know that's it he's he's
00:49passed on well this video at times is fuzzy but thankfully that wasn't the case it's a clear sign
00:57preston colson is like oh no he's having a hard time talking so the bullet did enter through his
01:03upper jaw area he's doing well he's having a hard time though standing his equilibrium is off
01:09so he's very dizzy he can't stand for long periods of time each scar on his body came in a bizarre turn
01:16of events he was selling his scooter on facebook marketplace that's a nice one they just exchanged
01:23a few messages um agreed to meet up to sell the scooter preston and his grandpa then drove to
01:28madison to meet up with the buyer but his grandpa felt something was wrong i heard my dad say we've
01:35been driving we drove around in circles four times preston i don't think they're here he said hey
01:39christina i love you let me call you back my battery's about to die i need to message the guy i'm
01:43eating i said okay love you too call me back about two hours later i got a text message from my dad
01:49saying he had been shot in the head and was at the hospital after seeing the gun preston used his
01:54first instincts and pepper sprayed the suspect who then fired one shot something went wrong and the guy
02:01shot his shot his gun at preston he aimed right at his head he shot one time and then he sped out of
02:07there but as he recovers in the hospital his family wants preston's story to serve as a warning
02:12to others go to the police station and me even then things can still go wrong but chances are it won't
02:18if you meet at the police station i think they have designated spots and it was a huge lesson learned for
02:24our family and we're hoping that we can get that message across to other people while some would call
02:28it a lesson learned for this family they're simply holding on to hope he doesn't understand why this
02:34happened to him and he's struggling with that but i think he's just thankful he's alive we all are
02:39we're all thankful he's alive and metro police are still investigating the suspect left in a dark
02:45colored nissan ultima if you know anything call police and you never see those was disturbing
02:51disturbingly upbeat about the whole thing well you know he just she was he got shot in the head
02:57lesson learned lesson learned lesson learned me at the police station his brains are all messed up
03:03oh wow i didn't even see the curtain i missed least damn what a disaster yeah look it is oh my god
03:10everything's fine though yeah i got my fake plant my purple curtains and uh life is good if i was the
03:17mother it'd be a much different reaction like i'm coming for you you shot my son in the head
03:24lisa's so angry lisa wick lessons learned lisa wick he doesn't quite understand what's going on
03:32because he was shouting ahead yeah yeah he's all scrambled up he's having a hard time standing and
03:38walking and talking because the bullet went in his brain but he's fine so of course you'd recommend
03:46that people do not do this no do it it's a fantastic way to make a little money on the side
03:52his reaction was to pepper spray the man who had a gun because gun versus pepper spray is always a
03:59safe bet um you know did you get some of your stuff there from uh facebook marketplace most of
04:06these curtains you see these curtains yeah got those on facebook marketplace that's right bought
