ARNOLD, Mo. – A small piece of positive news for the family and friends of an Arnold police officer who was critically injured in a shooting earlier this month.
The family of Officer Ryan O’Connor said he remains hospitalized in critical condition, but his medications have been reduced and efforts to wake him could be forthcoming.
