On April 5, 2007, during a SWAT training event in Utah, David Burnell was accidentally shot through the ankle during a live fire drill. “The Day I Got Shot” recounts the visceral moment of impact, the shock and the shame, and the profound love shown by fellow operators in the aftermath. With no medication available and his weapon still across his chest, David endured 30 minutes on the ground, gripped by pain, remorse, and reflection. But what followed was more than recovery. It was a soul-deep lesson in vulnerability, humility, and compassion.
This spoken ballad is not about heroism. It’s about imperfection. It’s about feeling broken and being lifted. It’s about the warrior who cries. The brother who shows grace. The moment when a gunshot becomes a gift, wrapped in reflection and guided by faith.
