He left campus to go home to east Baltimore. Then, in the 3900 block of Chesterfield Avenue, someone shot him an inch above his heart as part of a gang initiation."
"Over the next several years, Cooper was angry, depressed and ready to take his life when some friends stopped him. He began mentoring prisoners, including the one who shot him."
"If I can forgive the man who put a bullet in my chest, we can help work with some of these young men and help them forgive daddy issues, mommy issues and people talking about their clothes at school," Cooper said."

People capable of this level of forgiveness amaze me. I doubt I could forgive like this, which makes Cooper a better human being than I am.
