On May 19, 1983, Diane Downs drives her three children to McKenzie-Willamette Hospital in a blood-spattered car. She tells police that a man trying to carjack the vehicle opened fire, striking everyone inside. Cheryl,7, was killed. Danny, 3, ended up paralyzed from the waist down, and Christie, 8, suffered a disabling stroke after being shot. She survives. Downs herself, was shot in the left forearm. Investigators and hospital workers were suspicious. They say her manner is just too calm for a person who experienced such a traumatic event. Ultimately, it is daughter Cheryl who tells everyone who did the shooting.
