Michael Chamberlain, ex-husband of Lindy Chamberlain and father of Azaria Chamberlain.
You may remember the Chamberlains from the “dingo ate my baby” case, which I have touched on before.
Detective Steven McDonald of the NYPD. Det. McDonald was shot by a 15-year-old boy in 1986. The shooting left him completely paralyzed from the neck down.
A plainclothes police officer when he was shot, Officer McDonald remained on the Police Department’s payroll afterward as a first-grade detective, at times appearing at roll calls and offering support for wounded officers.
His son, Conor, who was born six months after the shooting, is a sergeant with the New York Police Department and represents the fourth generation of the family to serve in the department.
