LOUISVILLE, Ky. (LEX 18) — A Louisville Metro Police Department Officer who was badly injured in a mass shooting back in April, is continuing to show signs of improvement.
Officer Nickolas Wilt's family says he is now able to respond to yes or no questions more consistently. He has also started walking with a harness and is gaining strength in his legs.
His family says his speech and ability to communicate are improving daily.
Officer Wilt is able to brush his teeth independently, a milestone his family says shows that "his determination and fighting spirit are evident as he confronts his challenges head-on and still isn't backing down."
Wilt's family says pictures and cards are displayed on his wall as a "reminder of encouragement and motivation he receives from those around him."
