Lady Gaga's dog walker recalls night he was shot by dognappers in his first TV interview: "They didn't think I was gonna survive"

Ryan Fischer cared for pop icon Lady Gaga's French bulldogs before his life changed in February during what was supposed to be a normal walk.
Fischer was walking singer's dogs in Hollywood when he was approached by two masked men, one of whom was carrying a gun. Fischer struggled with the men before one of them fired a single shot that pierced Fischer's lung before fleeing with two of the dogs.
In his first television interview, Fischer described to "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King how badly he was wounded.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
