BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - A Baton Rouge DJ never expected to end up in a hospital, unable to walk after a fun night out in the city, but violence and gunfire inside a lounge Saturday left Michael Henderson, who performs under the name DJ Revv, and 11 others hurt.

That same manager also said doctors are considering surgery but are taking their time to figure out the best way to remove the bullet without causing more damage.

Doctors are looking ahead to the long-term impacts the injury would have on Henderson’s ability to walk, his manager said.
