Last SWAT officer injured in North Philadelphia shootout released from hospital
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia Police Officer Eddie Quintana, the last of the injured SWAT officers from this week's shootout in North Philadelphia, was released from the hospital Friday and is with his family.
Quintana walked out of Jefferson Hospital to a round of applause from his fellow officers with the Philadelphia Police Department.
He was one of three officers who were shot Wednesday while serving a warrant in North Philadelphia's West Poplar section.
Quintana, who was shot in the leg, will continue recovering at home.
"Feel pretty good as long as I can walk out on my own two feet," Quintana said. "You know, just happy about that. Happy to be home and see my family."
When Eyewitness News asked the 30-year veteran how quickly he wanted to get back to work, he said, "we'll see about that."
