Aurora shooting survivor signs with Chargers as UFA
USA TODAY SPORTS Lindsay H. Jones 8 hrs ago

Nearly six years after surviving a mass shooting at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater, Zack Golditch’s NFL dreams are beginning to come true.

Golditch, an offensive lineman from Colorado State, signed a free-agent contract with the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday. He was not drafted but said he received interest from more than a dozen teams. He whittled that list to several finalists and picked the Chargers because he believes the team represented the best opportunity to compete for a roster spot as a swing guard-tackle. Golditch played guard as well as right and left tackle at Colorado State.

When he was 17, Golditch was struck by a bullet in the neck, just below the left ear, on July 20, 2012, after a gunman opened fire inside a movie theater next to the one he was in.  The bullet, which came through the wall, narrowly missed arteries and vertebrae in Golditch’s neck, and he was able to return to star on his high school football team later that fall.

The Chargers are not from San Diego anymore, I believe the Aurora shooter, James Holmes was from San Diego.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Holmes_(mass_murderer)

So, Golditch will try to make the cut, good luck!
