Talented athlete (18) in hospital after being injured, father called for prayers.
Worrying news comes from Las Vegas where a talented basketball player, 18-year-old Aaliyah Gayles, is injured in a shooting at a home party as she prepares to go to university basketball in a USC team jersey in Los Angeles. Gayles is among four wounded with gunshots, and the good news is that none of the wounded are in life-threatening condition.
After the drama at the party, Gayles was transferred to the hospital where she underwent two emergency surgeries yesterday, the local Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
After the injury, the prognosis of the 18-year-old basketball player’s recovery is still unknown. The university to go to is worried given that she is a talented athlete, eighth on the list of leading high school girls who are continuing their careers in American university basketball.
