Pittsburgh-based UPMC chaplain and nurse Daniel Leger, RN, who was injured in the Oct. 27 Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Squirrel Hill, Pa., has been discharged from the hospital, UPMC officials announced.
"The family has kindly requested that media respect their privacy as they grieve and heal," medical center officials said.
Mr. Leger was shot and underwent surgery at UPMC Presbyterian for a gunshot wound to his torso.
Eleven people, including UPMC-affiliated physician Jerry Rabinowitz, MD, were killed during the shooting. At least six injured patients were treated at UPMC Presbyterian, UPMC Mercy and Allegheny General Hospital, all in Pittsburgh.
A 40-year-old male police officer is the only person injured by gunfire during the shooting who is still hospitalized, according to a Pittsburgh Post-Gazette report.
