SAN DIEGO — It's been four months since San Diego Police Sergeant Anthony Elliot was shot in the head during an investigation in 4S Ranch.ABC 10News sat down with him and his wife to talk more about his journey.On the night of December 7, Elliot, along with other officers, was investigating a reported stolen car at the 4S Commons Town Center.
"When I was hit, immediately my entire left side, my left arm, left leg, left core was just shut off," he said.He spent nearly a month at an in-patient acute rehab facility in Colorado learning how to walk again. "Some of the biggest rehab has just been picking up my toddler, doing the nighttime routine, changing diapers," Elliot said.Parts of his leg and back remain numb, along with other difficulties.Elliot now works with Jeremy Shelton, who's a functional strength coach, to improve his balance and agility.
But, the couple said the outpouring of support from the community and police department has made the process more manageable.
