A California veteran of the Afghanistan War was hospitalized Saturday, the day after being paralyzed by gunshots at his welcome-home party, his family said.


Family members said Army Spc. Christopher Sullivan, 22, of San Bernadino, who survived a suicide bombing while in the war zone last December, was paralyzed after being shot twice Friday night in his hometown, The (San Bernardino) Sun reported.



"My son didn't deserve this. He served his country," said his mother, Suzanne Sullivan of San Bernardino.
Police said Sullivan, who is stationed at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, was home on leave.


Bernardino police Lt. Gwendolyn Waters told The Sun Saturday Sullivan was wounded when he tried to break up an argument between his brother and a man outside the home where 30-40 people were partying.


Waters said the man, described as a Latino in his 20s, punched Sullivan's brother and then pulled a gun from his waistband and fired at least three shots.

China wants assurances that its consulates in the United States are safe after a man allegedly unloaded "more than a dozen" gunshots at the Chinese consulate in downtown Los Angeles on Thursday afternoon.

"I grabbed phone books and put them over my head. A bullet came in the room right next to my knee. I thought I was going to die."

The consulate building is under tight security measures, and the surrounding area has been cordoned off by police.
