| [WMBF News] GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - On Thursday night after a deputy was critically wounded in the line of duty, an Upstate sheriff said he believes a miracle occurred in Greenville, South Carolina. Corporal Lucas Watts with the Oconee County Sheriff’s Office was struck by gunfire while deputies were pursuing a suspect on Nov. 16. During a Sunday morning service at Westminster First Baptist Church, Oconee County Sheriff Mike Crenshaw opened up to his church about the extent of Watts’ injuries. "Just so you all understand the significance of his injuries, I’m not talking about a grazing wound to the head," Crenshaw said. "I’m talking about a bullet to his brain so that you understand just how significant his injury was. I didn’t share that with my folks on the scene, it wasn’t the time." While Crenshaw was on scene after the shooting, he said he got a phone call saying he was needed at the hospital. He drove from Fair Play to Greenville Memorial Hospital, where he said he was told that the deputy’s wounds were not survivable. |

| #1 Lazarus. Or, typical Doctor talk... "He is unlikely to live, or walk or talk again. If he does, we saved him. Venerate us." |
