Wounded Officer Returning to Work
JONESBORO, Ga. (AP) A Clayton County police officer returns to duty this week after recovering from a gunshot wound.
Officer Yolanda Shumaker was wearing a protective vest when she was shot in the chest Feb. 27 after responding to a domestic dispute at a Hampton residence.
The suspected gunman remains in the county jail.
At a ceremony Tuesday, Shumaker was given a new vest and was named a member of the ``Legion of Life'' program.
The program, established 30 years ago, honors law enforcement personnel who have been saved by bulletproof vests.
