DALLAS — The Dallas firefighter-paramedic who was shot by an armed man while on a call last month has been discharged from the hospital.
WFAA reported that William An left the hospital Wednesday afternoon in a wheelchair surrounded by family, friends and colleagues. Dallas Fire-Rescue officials said he will continue to recover at home.
“The An family would like to humbly extend their gratitude to everyone, from the day Will was brought into the hospital through the multiple procedures and through today, for the compassion shown throughout this entire ordeal,” Dallas Fire-Rescue said.
An was critically wounded when crews responded to a call about a shooting. Derick Lamont Brown had killed his godfather and shot his neighbor.
An was treating the wounded neighbor in the street when Brown opened fire on him, hitting him in the arm and leg.
