A family vacation turned violent when an American was shot and robbed on Providenciales, and island belonging to Turks and Caicos.
Kevin Newman, who is from Alabama, visited the island with his son and wife when he was shot in the abdomen, according to ABC News.
He was first taken to a nearby hospital but was medically evacuated to a hospital in Florida. According to WTVM, his kidney was removed during an operation, adding that he can now wiggle his toes. He remains in a medically-induced coma, the station reported, and police say is is in serious condition.
“He lost a very large amount of blood, so he received lots of transfusions yesterday. The surgeon also had to remove his right kidney, and his left kidney function is being monitored closely,” wife Tiffany Newman said.
