Johnson Recalls Downtown Shooting

Item: About that night: Man who fired gun in downtown Cd'A shooting recounts evening's events/Rick Thomas, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: Adam Johnson was certain he was knocking on heaven's door three months ago. That was just the beginning of 12 days of hell. "I thought I was done," he said. "Once the clip was empty and I let go, they continued to stomp me ... and then I was out. I thought I was done for." The young Coeur d'Alene businessman was beaten unconscious early in the morning of Dec. 27 by a group of six to eight assailants who punched and kicked him before he opened fire with a legal concealed weapon, sending two of the assailants to hospitals with serious injuries.

Question: Do you think Adam Johnson has learned a lesson from his scrape with the law and near death experience on Sherman Avenue?
