One week after he was wounded in a shooting that killed a fellow officer, Huntsville police say Officer Albert Morin no longer requires a ventilator.
Morin, 34, has been in critical condition at Huntsville Hospital since the shooting last Tuesday afternoon. Police released a photo of him last week.
Morin, along with Officer Garrett Crumby, 36, and an unidentified woman, were shot Tuesday at an apartment complex on the 4600 block of Governors House Drive.
Crumby and Morin answered a call after a woman had been reportedly shot.
Crumby died from his wounds. His funeral was held yesterday. The woman’s injuries were not considered life-threatening, police said last week.
Juan Robert Laws, 24, was booked into the Madison County Jail just before 11 p.m. Tuesday on a charge of capital murder of a law enforcement officer. He is expected to face additional charges.
Both Crumby and Morin worked out of the department’s West Precinct. Morin has been a Huntsville police officer since 2017.
Get-well cards can be sent to Morin in care of Huntsville Police Department, P.O. Box 2085 Huntsville, AL 35804.
