Officer shot in standoff showing responsive signs
ORLANDO, Fla. – A police officer who was in a coma is showing responsive signs after being shot in the head at the start of a standoff during which four children were killed.
Orlando Police Officer Kevin Valencia’s wife said Wednesday that her husband has responded to hand squeezes and given a thumbs-up sign.
Meghan Valencia says he will be transferred this week to a rehab centre in Atlanta.
Valencia was shot earlier this month while responding to a domestic disturbance call from a woman who said her boyfriend had a gun and was holding their four children in their apartment.
The four children and the boyfriend were found fatally shot after a nearly daylong standoff with police.
The Orlando Police Department says the boyfriend shot the children and then himself.
