AN DIEGO (CBS 8) – It’s nothing short of a miracle that Will Barton is still alive after he was shot point blank in the head.

Barton was shot in the head, shoulder and neck while walking home from his late shift at a restaurant. Doctors at Scripps Mercy Hospital gave him a 1 percent chance of survival at the time.But Barton showed an unrelenting fighting spirit as he clung to life for several weeks in an intensive-care bed. Later, he was in several rehabilitation facilities and has regained his ability to speak and has limited use of his arms.
