BOSTON (WHDH) - A state trooper who was shot in Hyannis on Friday night has been released from the hospital.
Trooper John Lennon, who graduated from the State Police Academy in May, was released from Massachusetts General Hospital on Monday and will remain on injured leave as he recovers.
Dozens of troopers escorted the 28-year-old trooper home following his release.
The search for the suspect or suspects who shot him during a motor vehicle stop on Camp Street in Hyannis shortly before midnight Friday is ongoing.
The bullet struck Lennon’s hand but a ballistics vest stopped it from wounding his shoulder. A GoFundMe page for Lennon has raised more than $130,000.
No further information was immediately available.
An investigation remains ongoing.
