ATLANTA — More than three months after he was shot while responding to a call, Covington police Officer Matt Cooper is heading home in time for the holidays.
Cooper finished his rehabilitation at the well-known Shepherd Center, which held a graduated ceremony for the officer Wednesday.
His family and colleagues from the Covington Police Department were there to support Cooper as he walked down the hall.
Cooper and his wife Kristen sat down exclusively with Channel 2's Mark Winne last month to discuss his recovery. The Coopers told Winne that they were thankful for the support their family has received.
