Texas TV meteorologist back on air 4 weeks after getting shot

EDDY, Texas - A Texas meteorologist who was shot last month outside the Waco-area TV station where he works has returned to the air - wearing a Superman T-shirt.

Patrick Crawford presented the Monday morning forecast at KCEN.

KCEN's on-air and control room staff wore T-shirts Monday bearing the Superman logo on the front and the words "Crawford Strong" on the back. Crawford then opened his button-down shirt to reveal his own Superman T-shirt.

Authorities are hunting for the man who shot Crawford three times on Dec. 17 as the meteorologist was starting to drive home from the station. Crawford spent several days in a hospital.

Authorities are still investigating the attack. Crawford has told the media he didn't recognize the gunman and the man didn't say anything to him before opening fire.

A reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case stands at $20,000, reports CBS affiliate KHOU. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call a Department of Public Safety tip line at 1-800-863-8558.
