GARY, Ind. (CBS) -- Gary Sgt. William Fazekas was severely wounded back in February.
He was trying to pull over a man who had just hit a woman when the suspect fired 45 shots at him.
A fellow officer used a belt as a tourniquet to save Fazekas life and he's been on the road to recovery since.
Elementary students from across Gary will gather at the city's police department Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. to present Fazekas with a special "thank you."
The man accused of shooting Fazekas has been charged with attempted murder and five other counts.
