Teenager, Gama Droiville, recently suffered an horrendous attack when he was shot in his right eye in Brooklyn, New York City. However, despite the horrific injury he has said that he forgives the 21-year-old gunman Kareem Potomont because of his strong Christian faith and belief in Jesus.

"I forgive him. Let justice come from God," said Droiville to the New York Post on April 18. "Hand over your life to Christ. You would be doing good things and not endangering other people's lives."

The 13-year old choir boy was shot in the head on April 14 in the afternoon in the streets of Flatbush Ave. The boy was an innocent bystander who was caught in the crossfire when he was walking down the street with his aunt and his little cousin.

"My cousin said he saw two people arguing, but I didn't see anything," said Droiville to ABC. "Then they pulled out guns and started shooting at each other. And I think one of their bullets hit me above my right eye, and I fell to the ground."

Aissatou Diallo, a store worker at a nearby hair braiding store, explained in a recent interview what she saw.

"I was just screaming. I was just crying," said Diallo to CBS. "The little boy was standing, and I see him bleeding. Me and [his aunt] were like going crazy - like, jumping, crying."

A deli owner said he did not see what happened but he did hear the gunshots.

"I heard about eight to nine gunshots," said the deli owner to CBS. "I thought I was back in my country in the Middle East - in Yemen - you know what's going on there now, right? This is how it was this morning over there - this afternoon, as a matter of fact. It was crazy."

While everyone was panicking in the streets of Brooklyn shortly after the shooting, Droiville offered inspiration to people who witnessed the horrific act that nearly took his life.

"I told everybody to relax, stay calm because God is with me," said Droiville to ABC. "They called 911 and I woke up in the hospital...I think it's a miracle."

Droiville was released from Kings County Hospital yesterday. Doctors do not know if the teen will ever regain sight in his right eye. Droiville's uncle Jimmy Marcel issued the following statement before his nephew left the hospital yesterday.

"The tragedy is still there, but Gama is alive," said Marcel to The New York Post. "We just want to say thank you first to our God. If it weren't for him it would have been worse."

Droiville also spoke to the media to show his gratitude to the support he has received from well-wishers.

"I would like to say thank you for all the support. Thank you for all the prayers," said Droiville to reporters before he left the hospital. "A special thank you to the NYPD for catching this guy, and I hope to feel much better."
