AZ lawmaker seeks public's help identifying shooter who paralyzed her 15 years ago

Arizona lawmaker Jennifer Longdon (D) can still hear the gunshot that paralyzed her from the chest down.

She was going out to eat with her fiance, David, on Nov. 15, 2004 when a pickup truck sideswiped their car in a parking lot of a taco shop in Phoenix.

Seconds later, someone inside the truck fired gunshots. Longdon was struck in the back. Her fiance, a Taekwondo champion and martial-arts instructor, was shot in the head and shoulder.

David suffered severe brain damage. Longdon would never walk again. The truck with the shooter fled the scene.

That was 15 years ago. The shooting remains unsolved.
