FedEx Worker Wounded in Kennesaw Mass Shooting Suffers Complications From Surgery

The FedEx worker who was seriously wounded during a shooting spree at a facility in Kennesaw last year has suffered a setback to his recovery.

According to WSB-TV, Christopher Sparkman recently underwent his 26th surgery to treat shotgun blast wounds inflicted last year. Sparkman suffered complications following the surgery, according to his wife Jamie Lynn, and has been placed into a medically-induced coma.

Jamie Lynn wrote on her blog that the Feb. 16 surgery involved repairing and removing segments of small and large intestine, and inserting a biomechanical mesh at the site of Sparkman’s destroyed abdominal muscles. The surgery took 11 hours.

Sparkman was working as a security guard at the FedEx plant facility in Kennesaw on April 29, 2014, when 19-year-old co-worker Geddy Kramer opened fire inside the facility. Kramer wounded six people before turning the gun on himself. Sparkman was the most seriously injured of the victims.
