FSU Linebacker Ethan Pritchard Leaves Rehab, Returns to Tallahassee After August Shooting

Authorities call the August attack a case of mistaken identity, with four suspects facing attempted murder charges.

Overview

  • Pritchard was discharged Thursday from Brooks Rehabilitation in Jacksonville, ringing the bell to applause after roughly 34 days of intensive therapy.
  • He returned to campus Friday to reunite with teammates by electric wheelchair and is expected to attend Florida State’s home finale against Virginia Tech on Saturday.
  • He told WESH he arrived at rehab unable to move his right side, later regained arm movement, and will continue recovery near home in Central Florida.
  • Pritchard recalls turning a corner in Havana, Florida, hearing gunfire, reversing the car and then blacking out as he was driving relatives on Aug. 31.
  • Three adults — Jayden Bodison, Caron Miller and Germany Atkins — and a juvenile have been arrested, each facing counts including attempted murder and shooting into an occupied vehicle.
