Student injured in Stewartville High School shooting released from hospital
After spending Christmas in the hospital, a high school wrestler who was shot will get to ring in the new year at home.
The shooting happened around 5 a.m. on Dec. 12 in Stewartville, Minnesota, south of Rochester.
The high school wrestling team was boarding a bus for a tournament when investigators say 19-year-old Logan Moyer shot the boy before dying from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The sheriff's office said on Tuesday the injured student is now out of the hospital and recovering well at home.
Authorities say the gunman was a 2024 graduate of Stewartville and was on the wrestling team in high school, but was not currently a coach or volunteer for the team. The connection between Moyer and the student he shot is unclear.
A GoFundMe page for the Tigers booster club has raised more than $50,000, with the money slated to go to the victims' families. Among those donating are other wrestling teams in the area.
