Brigham And Women's Valet Shot During Police Incident Released From Hospital

BOSTON (CBS) – A valet employee shot in the head during an incident outside Brigham and Women's Hospital earlier this month has been discharged from the hospital.

Boston Police responded to a 911 call for a person with a gun on Fenwood Road the morning of February 7. Police discharged their weapons when 41-year-old Juston Root displayed what appeared to be a gun.

A 49-year-old valet employee was shot in the head at some point during the exchange.

Root was later shot and killed by police in Chestnut Hill following a pursuit.

On Wednesday, the hospital confirmed that the valet employee, who has not been identified, has since been discharged.
