The Burke County Sheriff's Office has long agreed that Martin Lawing is an all-star, but now he's getting some national credit too.
Lawing, a SWAT team member who was critically shot in a December standoff, has been nominated as one of "America's Most Wanted" All-Stars, which honor first responders who go above and beyond.
Lawing, a 31-year-old former Army Ranger, was shot in the neck Dec. 11 during a standoff and has since undergone several surgeries. Doctors are unsure if he'll walk again.
