Port St. Lucie, FL - The Port St. Lucie Police sergeant who was shot in the face twice near Town Park community in Tradition is still fighting the good fight, according to an update from Law Enforcement.

In a Tuesday release from the Port St. Lucie Police Department (PSLPD), Sergeant Erik LeVasseur who was critically injured while in the line of duty is currently in a medically induced coma after undergoing a second surgery to repair his facial features. In addition to the surgery, his jaw was wired shut for recovery and a tracheostomy was done to keep his airway secure.

Police say physicians have also confirmed the presence of shrapnel in his retina, which will require removal by a specialized surgical team. PSLPD states that arrangements are currently being made to transport Sergeant LeVasseur to an alternate trauma center to remove the shrapnel.

After the operation he has to return to HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital for continued care and recovery.
