"Every time we do the staff meeting we have to start off with running around the track first for a mile and a half," said Graves. "I still remember falling. I still remember having trouble moving. I still just remember everyone crowded around me, having to turn me over." "I would honestly describe it as just, it was just really painful," he said. "Some people say they didn’t see it, they just felt it. My sergeant says she did see it, but she wasn’t sure if it struck next to me or actually struck me."
