COLUMBUS -- As a former fiance sought vengeance, a Columbus man opens up about the day he was supposed to die.
Jamie Hart and Melissa Stredney had just broken off their engagement. Jamie claims it was because Melissa was abusive.
Then she began stalking him.
One day, Melissa showed up at Jamie's work to talk but then she pulled out a gun and told him to get in the car.
Jamie recalls, "I actually remember hearing the gunshot, I remember my vision going black. Obviously, my one eye was destroyed, my right eye was in shock."
Melissa is now serving 15 years in prison.
Jamie has had eight surgeries on his eye and he's still in therapy.
