LINCOLN CITY, Ore. (AP) — The Lincoln City Police officer who was shot and badly wounded two months ago finally returned home.
Officer Steven Dodds was wounded during a traffic stop in January. He suffered serious injuries in his abdomen and has been in a Portland hospital ever since.
But on Saturday he received a rock star welcome from family, friends and colleagues who gathered at a local high school to see him.
Dodds still had a visibly difficult time walking, but says he never once gave up hope he would make it through this ordeal.
