Air Force veteran speaks out about shooting by ex-wife's lover

An Air Force veteran spoke out on Sunday about the shooting in 2022 in his driveway that caused his leg to be amputated and almost cost him his life.

Kevin Kessler's ex-wife Nicole was found to have been involved with the shooting, which police determined was carried out by her lover Matthew Jones.

Nicole served nine months in jail for lying to police about the shooting and for giving Kessler's gun to Matthew Jones.

"They told my family to plan for a funeral. They gave me a 1 percent chance. They did not think I was going to make it," Kessler said.

"They found three entry and exit holes, and they actually found a full bullet in my belt," he said. "I still have bullet fragments that have been removed as recently as a few weeks ago, I still have more than I feel. I still have a drain hole that doesn't stop."

Kessler believes his wife plotted to kill him. "Why would Nicole lie about her whereabouts if she wasn't hiding the fact that she was involved in me being shot? At minimum she knew I was shot after the fact," he said before her sentencing.
