Trinity High School basektball star Markhasia Ross's recovering after she was shot last week in a drive-by shooting on Chicago's West Side.Although she's a winner on the basketball court, 17-year-old Markhasia Ross's dreams of continuing with her team at Trinity High School in River Forest are now no more.Ross was shot during a drive-by shooting last Aug. 11 near Jackson and Maplewood. Two other teens were hurt in the shooting.The trauma is still as fresh as her injuries.
"It's almost time for them to go to college, so we were just hanging out with them and we were dropping them off," Ross explained."I just heard gunshots and I just started running," Ross said. "Then, when I looked down I noticed that I was shot, then I fell back down, and I just was yelling.""It went through my leg and broke my tibia bone," said Ross.
And after spending a week in the hospital Ross is finally home. Her life spared but the lingering trauma - now, difficult to shake off. "Knowing that I can't walk no more is hard to take in, but knowing that I can't play, at least, for my senior year is even worse," Ross said.Two 18-year-olds, a man and a woman, who were also shot were treated and are expected to survive.
