A 37-year-old Ocean View man is awake and talking at an Oahu hospital after being shot twice during an apparent attempted murder-suicide March 12 in Ka’u.

Daniel Moriarty is currently out of the intensive care unit at The Queen’s Medical Center on Oahu, his mother, Kay Martin, who arrived earlier this week to be by her son’s side, said Wednesday afternoon. West Hawaii Today is identifying Moriarty with his consent.

She said her son, a single father of three who was not ready to be interviewed, remains paralyzed from the waist down after being shot twice in the back. He came out of sedation on Tuesday.

Martin said her son also requested prayers be said for him to assist in his recovery at 2 p.m. Sunday, Hawaii Standard Time.
