Man shot in head by Fulton police doesn’t hold grudge

ExploreA 21-year-old who nearly died from a police bullet to his head in 2011 says he doesn’t hold a grudge against the Fulton County police officer who accidentally shot him.

“It could have been way worse,” DeAnthony Cunningham told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Monday. “I could have died right there on impact.”

Fulton County settled a federal lawsuit filed on Cunningham's behalf for $2 million last week. After attorneys fees and hospital bills, the remaining funds will be held in trust to pay for Cunningham's future medical care and living expenses.

Age 16 when he was shot, Cunningham has had 18 surgeries since the the shooting. Read what happened and what's next for Cunningham here.
