Ugh. Prayers for his recovery and for his family, they must be a wreck over this right now.

What an unfortunate event. At least the doctors appeared positive wrt his potential for recovery. Indeed, his family must be besides themselves.

I hear he is doing better, thank God.

UPDATE

A Somerville cop shot while serving a warrant earlier this month was released from the hospital yesterday, only to be rushed back when his stitches opened up.

It was Detective Mario Oliveira’s first time home since the gun battle in which the suspect was killed.

“When Mario first came to us, he was dying of multiple gunshots to the chest and abdomen,” King said.

Fatal Shooting Of Armed Somerville Man Justified

As authorities investigated the case, Krister told an ex-girlfriend that he would get into a shootout with police officers if they came looking for him.....

I bet the dude who killed the psycho in the Boston hospital would have liked such a swift review. He was strung along for 6+ months.

The reviews usually are swifter when you have an officer almost shot to death by the suspect.

So two doctors bleeding and in critical condition from stab wounds is not clear enough? I will remember that.
