ST. LOUIS — St. Louis police officer Colin Ledbetter remained unconscious and fighting for his life Thursday, a day after he was shot in the line of duty, his family said.
“He’s doing very well, better than expected,” Steve Ledbetter said of his 25-year-old son, who has undergone hours of emergency surgeries over the past two days. “He’s still not conscious, and there’s still a long way to go.”
Ledbetter’s heart stopped after he and another St. Louis police officer were shot Wednesday afternoon, Steve Ledbetter said. The two officers were taken to Barnes-Jewish Hospital.
