LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Louisville, Kentucky police officer critically wounded in a mass shooting at a bank in April will finally be heading home on Friday.
Officer Nickolas Wilt, a 26-year-old rookie who was shot in the head, will be discharged Friday after more than three months of hospitalization and rehab treatments.

Wilt"never hesitates," Deputy Chief Paul Humphrey said at an April press briefing as body camera footage was released."This young man went back in to the line of fire."

"This will be the first time, Officer Wilt will be able to see, in person, the love and support the community has for him," the department said."The Wilt Family asks for continued support and prayers as they transition him home."Listen
