COBB COUNTY, Ga. — A Cobb County basketball player is still recovering after he and another teen were hit in front of their high school.
Malik Spellman plays point guard for Wheeler High School in Marietta. Police say a driver hit Spellman and another teenager outside the school nearly a week ago.
The school told Channel 2's Michael Seiden it was donating old weight room equipment and the teens were getting ready to load a weight rack before they were hit.
"It was a terrifying moment. I thought I was going to see this young man die right before my very eyes," witness Marty Herrin said. "Both of them were literally knocked out of their shoes."
