Yep.
So my cousin Munib got shot on a peaceful protest recently.
The details currently are sketchy at best, but he was surrounded by kids and families on a very peaceful protest, and was unlucky to be hit.
The bullet entered his body, splitting into shrapnel and bits taking out a kidney, spleen and his spine.
He's out of ICU, but may not regain his full use of his leg.

He's a lovely kid and a close close friend, as well as being my cousin.
