US man, 21, shot 3 times by robbers, bystanders reportedly didn't help but filmed him instead
He woke up from his surgeries to find out that his friend was killed.
A 21-year-old American man, Matthew Lanske, was shot three times during a robbery attempt that occurred while he attempted to save his 20-year-old friend, Issac Elijah Rios, in Seattle, Washington. According to sources, the incident took place during an illegal street takeover, where car enthusiasts gathered to perform dangerous driving maneuvers that often drew large crowds.
Rios was shot twice in the stomach and once in his pelvis, ultimately dying from his injuries. Lanske, shot twice in his stomach and once in his pelvis, managed to flee the scene but was turned away by bystanders who locked the doors of a nearby 7-Eleven. His mother, Shanda Barney, recounted how Lanske begged to be let inside, pleading for help as blood poured from his stomach.
Lanske was placed on life support in a trauma ICU, underwent two surgeries, and experienced survivor's guilt upon learning that his friend had been killed. Both families are actively seeking eyewitnesses and have offered a $1,000 reward for crucial information that could lead to an arrest.
