TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Police officer who was shot in the line of duty on Wednesday was released from the hospital yesterday evening.
Tampa police said Master Police Officer Jordan Laupert is now recovering at home. Laupert shared the following message:
"I want to thank everyone for their concern, support, and prayers. I'm truly grateful for my fellow officers, Tampa Fire Rescue, and the TGH staff who were there for me in those first critical moments. And to the entire community, your genuine concern for my safety and your well wishes have meant the world to me and my family. We can't thank you enough."
TPD said the investigation remains ongoing.
There are some truly inspiring people who call the Tampa Bay area home. People who overcome odds that others could not even imagine. Tampa Bay 28 anchor Lauren St. Germain met a woman who is doing just that, as she competes at an international level after 2 life-saving lung transplants.
