Storage Wars: Dan Dotson’s son shot in chest

According to Laura Dotson, her son was walking with his date to a vehicle in Lake Havasu, Arizona when he was shot in the chest. At the time, Laura talked about how relieved she was that her son was able to call 911 after being shot.  The bullet struck a main blood vessel that was connected to Garrett’s heart. His spine was also fractured by the gunshot. The hospital that Garrett was rushed to after being shot was not properly equipped to deal with the situation. Fortunately, he was airlifted to a trauma hospital in Vegas where he could receive proper treatment.

Laura Dotson also revealed she was eternally grateful for the doctor on the aircraft that used their hands to control the bleeding while they transported their son to the trauma hospital. Had the doctor on the aircraft not used his hands to get control of the bleeding, Garrett would have died.
