Theater Shooting Victim Gets 'Best Father's Day Gift & Story'

DENVER (CBS4) - Jurors have a break on the theater shooting trial for a few days and the defense will start its case Thursday. In the meantime one of the victims got some wonderful news on Sunday.

Shooting survivor Marcus Weaver says he had the best Father's Day gift Sunday night. He and his wife Megan Sharp-Weaver welcomed little Magdelyn Hope, or Maggie, into the world, but it was quite a birth.

The baby couldn't wait and Marcus' wife gave birth in their car as they rushed to Rose Medical Center.

Maggie is 6 pounds, 10 ounces and 19 inches.

Marcus, who was shot in the shoulder in the theater, wrote, "Best Father's Day story and gift … she had the baby naturally on the way to hospital, it was amazing to be a part of something so beautiful and what a story."
