An Arizona police officer who was shot in the line of duty has been released from a rehab center where he spent nearly two months recovering.
in the shooting, 39-year-old Valentin Rodriguez, was found dead in the Verde River by a father and son who were fishing.
"The bullet went through his belt, then punctured his small intestine, then on the way out, it shattered his pelvis and his hip," said Brogdon's wife, Bailey. On April 12, Sgt. Brogdon was released from the rehab facility, as his brothers and sisters in blue from other Arizona law enforcement agencies lined the hallways, showing their support as he made his way to the car for his caravan home.
"I never experienced something like that. To go from being able to jump walls and lift a bunch of weight, to not being able to get myself out of bed – it was heartbreaking," he said."He very well could have died and God was just like, ‘No, it's not your time,' and we're really grateful for that," his wife said. "We praise God for my husband. My miracle."
