WRIC Reports:
HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) – A 2-year-old is walking again after being shot in the head two months ago during a drive-by shooting.
Lavier Robinson was critically injured when shots were fired at a Henrico home in December.
Robinson was rushed to VCU Medical Center after the shooting. He was later moved to the Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters in Norfolk for further observation.
The toddler was released last week and is now home with his grandmother.
“It’s a miracle he’s out,” Atkinson said “It was a long journey to get here. Once he gets the feeling back in his left hand, he’ll be okay.”

His family said the toddler will undergo surgery soon to put a bone in the right side of his head.
The two men accused in the shooting — 19-year old Ara D. McLaughlin, and 23-year old Randy O. Vaughan — were charged with attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder back in early January.
Although sometimes it seems like no matter how hard we try danger has a way of sneaking in.
Thank goodness Lavier is on his way back 100%. Many prayers are sent for his speedy recovery on his surgery to come.
