The Florida deputy shot three times by a suspect who “waited” before opening fire on officers last week has been released from the hospital.<\/p>\n

Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office Corporal Matthew Aitken, 40, was shot in the neck, hand and leg while responding to a vehicle burglary report on March 12, FOX 13 Tampa Bay reports.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s a tough guy,” Sheriff Bob Gualtieri told the TV station after the deputy left the hospital Friday afternoon. “But he needs to take it easy. He\u2019s got a bullet in his neck, his leg is OK, he\u2019s got problems with his wrist, but I have no doubt that he\u2019ll come back, and he\u2019ll come back strong because that\u2019s who he is.”<\/p>\n

The man accused of shooting Cpl. Aitken, 23-year-old Zion Bostick, was allegedly trying to break into cars just before 7 p.m. in unincorporated St. Petersburg when deputies were alerted and began to pursue the suspect, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office said.<\/p>\n

Cpl. Aitken, 40, and his K-9, Taco, were accompanied by Sgt. Jake Viano, 49, as they tracked Bostick into a fenced backyard, where officials say the suspect was “waiting.”<\/p>\n

Police said the deputies followed the suspect and spotted him trying to hide behind a corner of a house.<\/p>\n

Bostick opened fire, striking Aitken three times before shooting at Viano, officials said. Viano dodged the bullets and returned fire, killing the suspect.<\/p>\n

Viano and Taco were not injured in the shooting.<\/p>\n

Bostick had a second gun in his right pocket, according to police, which had been reported stolen out of Manatee County.<\/p>\n

He had an “extensive criminal history,” the St. Petersburg Police Department<\/u><\/a> said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
