Overview
- Sergeant Erik Levasseur, shot twice in the face on Monday, is now awake, responsive and communicating through written notes.
- Surgeons removed shrapnel from both of his eyes late Wednesday at an undisclosed hospital.
- Police identified the suspected gunman as 32-year-old Frankie Salvatore Riccio, who had no prior criminal history or calls for service.
