Two nights later, Nathan attempts to rob Victoria, who fires her gun in self-defense, partially paralyzing Nathan from the waist down. Directed by award-winning filmmaker, Brad Lichtenstein, When Claude Got Shot follows three strangers tragically bound together by a weekend of gun violence, and a five-year journey to navigate recovery and forgiveness.
