In 2006, Jim Ledgewood was minding his own business at a sports bar in Glendale when he was randomly shot in the head by a gunman.
The hollow point bullet exploded, severing a facial nerve and destroying his inner eardrum. Then the bullet traveled to the back of his head, nicking his carotid artery, causing bleeding around his brain. His frontal and temporal lobes also were damaged.

THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC
March 10, 2009
Glendale police have arrested a man suspected of shooting and injuring a man outside Famous Sam’s Sports Grill and then killing the security guard of a nearby nightclub in 2006.
Police arrested Anthony Matthew Pena, 30, on Monday, more than two years after the shootings that killed Easu Heras-Holguin and injured James Ledgewood.
According to police, Ledgewood was shot while he was standing outside Famous Sam’s, near 43rd and Glendale avenues, at about 11:30 p.m. on Jan. 27, 2006. The gunman then ran from the area, chased by two Glendale police officers and Heras-Holguin, who was working as a security guard at the nightclub.

FREMONT GRADUATE STILL FEELING EFFECTS OF GUNSHOT WOUND
EAST BAY TIMES
FREMONT — Exactly two years ago today, Jim Ledgewood was hit in the head by a bullet, apparently the victim of a random shooting outside an Arizona bar.
The 1996 Washington High School graduate had moved to Arizona four months earlier to begin a career in architecture. On that fateful night in January 2006, Ledgewood had driven to Glendale to watch a distant relative perform in a band at Famous Sam’s bar. At one point, he decided to duck outside for some fresh air.
“I remember walking toward the front door, and the next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital room,” said Ledgewood, now 29.
Shot in the left temple, the incident left Ledgewood deaf, blind and paralyzed on the left side of his face. A bullet remains lodged in his skull, and he sometimes has trouble remembering things.
