Portland Author's Powerful Testimony: Surviving a Gunshot to the Eye Fuels Support for Oregon's Stalled Gun Control Measure 1

Portland author Jessie Kwak, who was shot in the eye two months ago, is speaking out in support of Oregon gun control Measure 114. Kwak, who used to overlook reports of gun violence, now wants to put a face to the victims of such violence. She had been selling her books at a fair when she heard what she thought were fireworks, only to realize she had been shot.
