ROSEBURG, Ore. — The youngest victim wounded in the Umpqua Community College mass shooting has been discharged from a hospital.
Mercy Medical Center in Roseburg said Tuesday that 16-year-old Cheyeanne Fitzgerald, who was shot once in the back, has gone home. Because the bullet lodged in Fitzgerald’s kidney, doctors had to remove the organ.
The gunman in the Oct. 1 shooting killed eight students and a teacher and wounded nine others before killing himself.
One other victim, 19-year-old Julie Woodworth, remains hospitalized. She is in critical condition at PeaceHealth Sacred Heart Medical Center in Springfield. Woodworth was shot multiple times, including in the head, knees and arms.
Hospital officials said she has undergone multiple surgeries and can now breathe on her own but she cannot talk or walk.
