Sheriff Declares ‘God ‌Performed a Miracle’ to Save Deputy: ‘I Saw a Dead Man Come Back to Life’

A South Carolina sheriff’s deputy is alive today after he miraculously survived⁢ a gunshot wound⁢ to the head last week that should have been fatal, ⁢according to his law enforcement colleagues.

The​ incident occurred during a traffic stop in eastern South Carolina when 27-year-old Cpl. Lucas Watts ⁢was shot by a ⁤heavily armed suspect identified as 50-year-old Gregory Maxwell.

Watts, who has been with the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office‍ for two years, sustained a severe bullet wound‌ to his brain, as described by⁤ Sheriff Mike Crenshaw.

“I’m‌ not talking about a grazing wound to the head, I’m talking about a ‍bullet to his brain,” Crenshaw ​recalled.

Despite the remote location of the ‍incident, Watts received⁤ immediate help through the power of prayer and quick thinking. An ambulance would have taken up to 45 minutes to arrive, so Watts was⁤ transported⁤ to a nearby ‌fire station⁣ in⁣ the back of a pickup truck before being taken to a hospital ⁢in Greenville, ​South Carolina.

When Crenshaw‌ arrived at the hospital, he was ‌informed by other law enforcement officers that Watts’ injuries ​were not survivable. However, a remarkable turn of events occurred when Watts’⁤ wife touched‍ him, ⁤causing him‌ to move and shed a tear. The doctor‍ immediately​ rushed him into surgery.

Following a ​risky​ surgical procedure, Watts began showing signs of recovery the next day. He was able to⁤ move his extremities and respond to verbal commands.‌ Although he remains in critical condition, Crenshaw believes that a miracle took place.

“God performed a miracle Thursday ‌night in​ Greenville, South Carolina,” Crenshaw declared.

Crenshaw is requesting continued prayers for Watts, while Maxwell, the suspect,‍ faces‍ five counts of attempted murder.

A ⁤Note from ‌Our⁣ Deputy Managing Editor:

What if you woke up one morning and half of the people you count on had just vanished overnight?

That ⁤happened to me recently. ⁣I got up, came⁣ to work here ⁤at The Western Journal, and when I got to my office, literally half of our readers had vanished. They ⁣were just gone. We had been nuked by Facebook, and it had ⁤happened almost instantly.

But ‍it was even worse. Facebook ‍hit ‌us at ‌the⁤ same time 90 percent of advertisers had essentially boycotted us. “Brutal” is a word I’ve used ‍a lot ​lately.

The⁤ fight for ‌the truth is brutal. The fight for America’s soul⁤ is brutal. What ‍the⁤ government is doing to Jan. 6 detainees is ‍brutal. What surgeons are doing to confused‌ children is ‍brutal.

It’s a fight we must‍ win. But ⁣we can’t win without you.

A membership to The Western Journal will go much ‌farther than you think. It costs less ‍than a cup ​of Starbucks coffee, and for that small price you get access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles⁣ — you’ll ⁤experience ⁣a radically reduced number of ads, and‌ most importantly⁣ you⁢ will be vitally supporting the fight ⁤against leftism.

Can I count on you to join today?

We need ‍your help. Benjamin Franklin summed ​up the situation we’re ​all‌ facing when he said, “We must ⁤all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately.”

We plan to​ hang in ​and fight. Please help us. Please become a member today.

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

How can ​readers who value independent journalism help fight against the censorship and suppression ​enforced by Big Tech companies

F our revenue had⁤ vanished as well. We went from being a thriving news organization to barely hanging on by a thread overnight.

Why am I telling ‍you this? Because ​we are facing a ​crisis in journalism. Big Tech companies like Facebook‍ and Google have a ⁤stranglehold on the flow of information, and they can⁣ choose to censor and suppress certain stories ‌and voices.

What happened to us at ⁤The Western Journal is just one‍ example of the power ‍these‍ tech giants have over the media landscape. And it’s a dangerous power that threatens the foundation of democracy.

We need your support now‌ more than ever. We need readers like‍ you who value independent, unbiased ‍journalism to stand with us and help us fight back against the censorship ‌and⁤ suppression.

So please, if you ⁣believe in the importance of a free press and the power of ​honest ⁤reporting, consider making a donation to The Western Journal. Your support will help us continue to bring you the stories that ‌matter, the stories that Big Tech doesn’t want you to see.

Thank you for standing with us in this critical time. ⁣Together, we can ensure ⁣that the truth will ‌always have a ⁣voice.
