Texas meteorologist returns to the air more than month after being shot outside TV station

EDDY, Texas – A Texas meteorologist who was shot last month outside the Waco area TV station where he works has returned to the air — wearing a Superman T-shirt.

Patrick Crawford presented the Monday morning forecast at KCEN.

KCEN’s on-air and control room staff wore T-shirts Monday bearing the Superman logo on the front and the words “Crawford Strong” on the back. Crawford then opened his button-down shirt to reveal his own Superman T-shirt (http://bit.ly/1IYRvL8 ).

Authorities are hunting for the man who shot Crawford three times on Dec. 17 as the meteorologist was starting to drive home from the station. Crawford spent several days in a hospital.

Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper D.L. Wilson said the investigation continues. He said a suspect has not yet been identified.
