One of the survivors of the March 21, 2005, shootings on the Red Lake Ojibwe Reservation is slowly recovering along with his mother, who suffered a stroke about a month after the incident.
Jeffrey May, 15, was shot in the head and suffered a serious brain injury. He was paralyzed on his left side and is working with therapists to recover his movements. He is expected to leave rehabilitation in a few days.
Jodi May, 40, meanwhile remains in guarded condition after her stroke. She is said to be more alert and has begun to communicate with hand signals.
