Tiana Carruthers, one of two survivors of the Kalamazoo shooting, is expected to make a full recovery. Trauma Medical Director Dr. Thomas Rohs says Carruthers was discharged to the center’s rehab unit last week.
“She walks short distances and is beginning to perform many of the necessary activities of daily living independently. And her mind is sharp and her will is strong,” he says.
Rohs says it could be six months to a year until Carruthers has fully healed. During last month’s killing spree in Kalamazoo, Carruthers was shot four times. Bullets fractured bones in her thighs, right arm, and one was lodged in her liver.
The other survivor in the shooting, 14-year-old Abigail Kopf, was released from Bronson Hospital on Tuesday. Kopf will be moving to an in-patient rehab facility in Grand Rapids.
