Father in ICU after Lakewood shooting, family shares experience
A Tacoma father is in the ICU tonight after a mass shooting at Harry Todd Park in Lakewood sent seven people to the hospital on Wednesday.
According to a fundraiser started to help the family, 'On May 28th, Ron Jackson was spending a beautiful, sunny day at Harry Todd Park in Lakewood, WA with his wife, Leighten, and their five young children — four girls and one boy. It was the first hot day of the year, and they were simply enjoying a peaceful afternoon together at the lake. In an instant, everything changed."
'And he's like I'm shot, I'm shot, I'm shot you know. And there's just like blood splitting out, splitting out,' said Ron's wife, Leighten.
Ron was shot in the abdomen and was hospitalized in critical condition after the shooting. He is now in the ICU facing major surgery on his liver.
'My son is here and he's like, I don't want my daddy to die. I don't want him to die, you know,' recounted Leighten.
Leighten shared the family's harrowing experience with KIRO 7's Samantha Lomibao. Hear their story live tonight at 11 p.m.

Manchester City are in the FIFA Club World Cup to win it
It is now under three weeks before Manchester City's FIFA Club World Cup campaign begins. Pep Guardiola's side will take on Wydad in their opening fixture of FIFA's expanded tournament. The tournament represents the latest mountain for Manchester City to conquer. Listening to Manchester City chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak speak, Manchester City's goal is to win the tournament. The merits of yet another tournament being added to the football calendar can be debated. But if Pep Guardiola's side can emerge victorious in the United States, it may be the ideal setting to kickstart Manchester City's next era of dominance. Manchester City's goal is to win the inaugural expanded FIFA Club World Cup. Speaking with Chris Bailey in his annual end-of-season interview for the Manchester City chairman outlined his club's goals at the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. Speaking on the upcoming tournament, Khaldoon Al-Mubarak said: 'This is a very, very serious competition. In the summer, the whole world will be watching this. A big number of the top teams in the world will be competing in this tournament. And I can assure you, we're going to give it our best shot. We're going in there to win it.' Advertisement 'We're going to go and try to win this tournament. This is the beginning of the new season, not the continuation of last season. You know, we take some rest. The team will take the rest that they will take right now, and then they start pre-season and then immediately straight into the into the Club World Cup.' A successful Club World Cup can kickstart the 25/26 season for Manchester City. The debate and merits of adding even more fixtures to the ever-growing football calendar can be debated forever and a day. But what the upcoming tournament in the United States represents for Manchester City is a new beginning. An era ended at the club at the end of the 24/25 season. There is no other way to describe Pep Guardiola's side's results this season. That's what has happened and the page has now be turned on that particular chapter. But the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup could represent the beginning of something new. If Manchester City can complete the majority of their summer transfer business ahead of the tournament they will enter the competition with a new look squad. It may be the ideal environment to integrate new signings into the fold at Manchester City. If Pep Guardiola's side can leave the United States as world champions they will enter the 25/26 season full of confidence and belief. That is the upside of the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. Advertisement The FIFA Club World Cup is an unknown of sorts. No one knows how or what effect the competition will have on the participating clubs. Furthermore, no one knows how the tournament will play out or unfold. Mark Brus has compiled a detailed report for CaughtOffside on when and how the Club World Cup is scheduled to take place. But the tournament could represent a new beginning for Manchester City. That's an exciting proposition for any and everyone associated with the club ahead of the tournament. If Manchester City leave the United States as world champions they could set up their next era of dominance. That's the goal of Manchester City's chairman and it is achievable for the club.
