A sergeant who was shot multiple times on Oct. 26 while responding to a ShotSpotter call in southeast Fresno, in the San Joaquin Valley of California, has been released from hospital, the Fresno Police Department said on Wednesday.
Officers were alerted to a ShotSpotter activation near Platt Avenue and Eighth Street at about 5:23 p.m. on Oct. 26.
