Lady Gaga Gives Gifts and Concert Tickets to School Shooting Victim

by Brandi Fowler / eonline

Lady Gaga surprised a 17-year-old high school student with a package of T-shirts, CDs, two tickets to her upcoming concert and a special message, after he was shot in the back on the first day of school by a classmate.

Police said Daniel Borowy, who has Down's syndrome, was struck at random when a student fired a shotgun twice in the cafeteria of Perry Hall High School in Baltimore, according to the NY Daily News.

After learning that Borowy was a big fan of Gaga, community members started a Facebook page called "Lady Gaga please visit Daniel" to get the superstar to visit the teen in the hospital.
While Gaga wasn't able to make the trip, Borowy's father, Milton, said via the page, "It is pretty cool that someone in her position took the time to make a complete stranger happy…to see the smile on his face is overwhelming. Thank you Lady Gaga and thank you to everyone who had a hand in making this happen!!"
