Click here for the complete article as well as pictures of all his gunshot wounds. As I said in an earlier thread, ESPN did a 7 minute segment on him earlier this year, on how he turned his life around.

Ben Moa remembers driving a stolen car. And steering a reckless life. As he and his cousins moved through a Glendale neighborhood in their freshly acquired ride, a car full of gangsters with bad intentions rolled up on them, their guns firing. Moa squeezed off six shots, making one of his rivals pay with a slug to the groin.
He then accelerated onto a Salt Lake City freeway, where, a few minutes later, he and his boys were spotted by an undercover cop who pulled them over and slowly walked toward the car.
Somebody said, "Man, we got busted."
"No, we didn't," said Moa, who punched the throttle, weaving through traffic, running stop signs, hitting speeds of up to 100 mph through residential areas, before slamming the car into a concrete barrier in a parking lot near Franklin Covey Field, and running for a place to hide, all with law enforcement in hot pursuit.
Moa was a kid. Not so little, but he was 12.
