WASHINGTON (AFNS) -- Airman 1st Class Spencer Stone was
released from the University of California Davis Medical Center on Oct. 15
after receiving treatment for multiple stab wounds following an altercation in
Sacramento last week.
Stone was recently honored for his heroic actions in
thwarting a gunman’s attack on a French train in August.
“It’s great to leave the hospital,” Stone said. “Thanks very
much to the first responders and the team here at UC Davis Medical Center for
taking good care of me. Thanks also to my amazing family and friends for their
love and support. And, thanks to everyone who's sent encouragement during this
challenging time. I'm focused on my healing and recovery and look forward to
the next part of my journey."
Stone was reassigned from Lajes Field, Azores, to Travis Air
Force Base, California, in October and is scheduled for accelerated promotion
to staff sergeant in November through a special promotion authority.
The stabbing incident is under investigation by local law
enforcement. Please call Air Force Public Affairs at 703-695-0640 for further
information.
