TAMPA, Fla. — A man was hospitalized after he was shot in Tampa early Friday morning.

The Tampa Police Department said officers launched an investigation at the Infinity Buena Vista Apartments on North Armenia Avenue around 4:44 a.m.

There, they found the victim with "lower body trauma." He was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition.

Police said all parties remained at the scene, and there is no threat to the public.

"It’s just constant grieving"

They say time heals all wounds, but for Deputy Andy Lahera, that adage is being tested. Lahera is still in the hospital and still recovering two years after the injury that changed his life and the lives of his family members.
