FIRECRACKERS AT FIRST AND THEN,
UH, A LOT OF PEOPLE JUST STARTED
RUNNING LIKE STRAIGHT TO OUR
DOOR TRYING TO COME IN AND
EVERYTHING. THERE’S A SKY DRESS
IN ALL BLACK. WEARING A VEST HAS
AN ASSAULT RIFLE AND HE’S JUST
SHOOTING AT PEOPLE. ACCORDING TO
INVESTIGATORS, THE GUNMAN WAS
SHOT AND KILLED BY AN ALLEN
POLICE OFFICER WHO WAS AT THE
MALL ON AN UNRELATED CALL. THEY
BELIEVE THE SHOOTER WAS ACTING
ALONE. WE ARE RESOLUTE AND UM,
IN OUR COMMITMENT TO PRAY FOR UM

MEANWHILE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN IS
AGAIN URGING CONGRESS TO PASS
LEGISLATION BANNING ASSAULT
WEAPONS AND ENACTING UNIVERSAL
BACKGROUND CHECKS. IN A
STATEMENT ON SUNDAY, PRESIDENT
BIDEN SAID QUOTE TOO MANY
FAMILIES HAVE EMPTY CHAIRS AT
THEIR DINNER TABLES. REPUBLICAN
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS CANNOT
CONTINUE TO MEET THIS EPIDEMIC
WITH A SHRUG. TWEETED THOUGHTS
AND PRAYERS ARE NOT ENOUGH. THE
ATTACK IN ELLEN IS ONE OF AT
LEAST 199 MASS SHOOTINGS IN THE
UNITED STATES SO FAR THIS YEAR,
ACCORDING TO THE GUN VIOLENCE
ARCHIVE REPORTING IN ALLEN,
TEXAS. I’M MIKE VALERIO.
PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS ORDERED
FLAGS AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND
OTHER FEDERAL BUILDINGS BE
LOWERED TO HALF STAFF TO HONOR
THE SHOOTING VICTIMS UNTIL MAY,
11TH DAN GILBERT. SON NICHOLAS
HAS PASSED AWAY. HE WAS 26 YEARS
OLD. HE DIED AFTER A BATTLE WITH
A RARE GENETIC NERVE DISORDER
AND MEGAN WOODS. SHE’S SHUTTING
LIGHTS ON HOW THIS DISORDER CAN
TAKE A TOLL ON PEOPLE AND THEIR
FAMILIES. THE NEXT FAMILY SAYS
HE PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY AT
HOME. WE SPOKE TO A NEUROLOGIST
ABOUT WHAT IT’S LIKE LIVING WITH
THIS DISEASE, AND MY HEART GOES
OUT TO THE GILBERT FAMILY FOR
THEIR LOSS. DR BRUCE SILVERMAN
IS A NEUROLOGIST AT ASCENSION
PROVIDENCE HOSPITAL. AND HE’S
FIRSTHAND HOW DIFFICULT THIS
CONDITION CAN BE FOR FAMILIES.
INDIVIDUALS HAVE SIGNIFICANT
LIMITATIONS SEIZURES, THEY HAVE
SIGNIFICANT MOTOR AND PHYSICAL
AILMENTS, HE SAYS.
NEUROFIBROMATOSIS IS RARE AND
HAS MULTIPLE VARIANTS. GILBERT
HAD TYPE ONE. THE DISEASE, GROSS
TUMORS ALL OVER THE BODY, AND
DEPENDING ON HOW AGGRESSIVE
THOSE TUMORS ARE. THAT PERSON’S
LIFE COULD BE CUT SHORT WITH
NEUROFIBROMATOSIS, TYPE ONE.
THEY TEND TO AFFECT THE BRAIN.
THEY TEND TO AFFECT THE OPTIC
NERVES WHERE YOUR EYES ARE
LOCATED, THEY CAN AFFECT YOUR
SPINAL CORD. THERE’S NO
TREATMENT OR CURE BECAUSE IT IS
GENETIC. DR SILVERMAN BELIEVES
UNDERSTANDING YOUR FAMILY
HISTORY CAN GO A LONG WAY AS
WELL AS KNOWING THE SIGNS.
OFTENTIMES IT’S A SKIN
MANIFESTATION OR A PERSON’S
HAVING VISUAL SYMPTOMS AND THEY
DEVELOP WHAT’S CALLED AN OPTIC
NERVE GLIOMA, WHICH IS A
MALIGNANT TUMOR OF THE OPTIC
NERVE. OR PERHAPS WEAKNESS OR
NUMBNESS OF THE SPINAL CORD IN
SOUTHFIELD, MEGAN WOODS FOUR
