MILWAUKEE — A Milwaukee police officer who was shot in the line of duty last week was released from the hospital Wednesday, surrounded by his brothers and sisters in blue.
Officer Daniel Gonzales was shot last Wednesday while responding to a shots fired call near 27th Street and Wisconsin Avenue.
The police union says Gonzales has had two surgeries since the shooting and has a long road to recovery.
"It's nothing short of a miracle from everybody involved—from first responders on scene to everyone on the medical staff here at Froedtert Hospital,” Gonzales said. “I don't think if even one less person had been on that scene, I would be walking out of here alive."
