Edmonton - In a written statement sent Monday afternoon, the wife of the sole survivor of the University of Alberta shooting updates his condition.
Matthew Schuman was seriously wounded, after being shot in the head in the early hours of June 15th. The armed robbery left three of his colleagues dead. Eddie Rejano, 39, Michelle Shegelski, 26, and Brian Ilesic, 35, died of their injuries.
Police have said the fifth guard was Travis Baumgartner. The 21-year-old was arrested at a U.S. border crossing near Abbotsford, B.C., less than 48 hours after the shooting. Police say he was carrying $330,000 in a backpack.
Since the shooting, Shuman has been in hospital in critical condition. Monday, his wife Jennifer provided an update on his condition, and the progress he’s made so far:
“It's been ten days since Travis Baumgartner viciously attacked his co-workers and we are all still trying to come to terms with this tragedy.
Because of the continued public support and genuine interest and concern for Matthew's condition, we would like to provide a brief update on his recovery.
On June 15th, Matthew sustained a direct gun shot wound to the head. That same day, he had surgery to remove the lodged bullet and was put into an induced comma.
On Tuesday morning (June 19th) his breathing tube was removed, and soon after he was awakened. Friday, he was moved out of the Intensive Care Unit and placed into a monitoring ward.
