RENO, Nev. (AP) - The 14-year-old boy Reno shot last month by a school police officer is showing improvement and soon will be moved to a rehab center.
The Hug High freshman who was shot once in the chest Dec. 7 suffered a stroke after he underwent surgery to remove part of a lung.
He spent the past three weeks in a medically induced coma at Renown Regional Medical Center. But his older brother told the Reno Gazette-Journal Monday (https://tinyurl.com/grtbefn) he’s made “drastic improvement,” has been moved out of the intensive care unit and is communicating with his family.

An investigation is continuing into the officer-involved shooting. Police say the youth was wielding two knives and cut a classmate on the cheek before a Washoe County School District officer shot him in a courtyard at Hug High School.
