Kieth's Uncle just spoke and said that Kieth is sedated but is conscious and can communicate by blinking his eyes. So far he seems to be holding his own, but is still in very critical condition.
As an aside, Kieth is also an Army reservist and returned from a one year tour in Iraq in February.
Montgomery Police and Alabama Investigators are currently searching areas along and around Interstate 65 Exit 181 & 186 for the Weapon the perp Used.
LOwndes County Authorities are searching a home and property in rural Lowndes County after a tip the Perp was in the area.
Talked to some friends in the Montgomery PD. While all the reports are about the shot to the neck, they said Kieth was also shot multiple times in the chest after the first shot, but that his vest protected him from those shots. (Warning - This is hearsay from friends of mine but I trust them).
Also, two other friends that are certified divers and have underwater search equipment have been asked to be available to search the an area of the Alabama River for the weapon once a search grid has been established.
