PORTLAND, Ore. — The family of a wounded Oregon State Police trooper says he has been moved out of the intensive care unit and into a hospital room just days after being shot several times on Christmas night.
The brother of Trooper Nic Cederberg writes on an online fundraising page that the officer had surgery Friday to fix a broken arm. The brother, Jeff Cederberg, said the procedure is his brother’s last major surgery for the time being and he is “amazing the doctors and nurses with how his recovery is going.”
Authorities said the trooper was shot Sunday night by homicide suspect James Tylka following a car chase. Tylka was then killed by police.
Officers pursued Tylka after finding his estranged wife dead outside his suburban Portland home.
