It has been one year since police say two brothers broke into a home in Raleigh’s Oakwood neighborhood, leaving a husband paralyzed and his wife traumatized.
Jason Beyer took a bullet to the back in the violent attack when he bravely confronted the intruders and stopped the attack on his wife. His bold move allowed her to escape and run for help.
Beyer remains in a wheelchair and is paralyzed from the belly button down. He is determined to walk again, whether on his own or with the help of new technology.
Meanwhile, he has returned to work, which includes traveling unassisted across the country. After much practice in parking lots, he also drives a specially-equipped car.
As for his wife, he says their bond is stronger than ever.
