KERNERSVILLE, N.C. — The Kernersville community is rallying around officer Sean Houle who was shot last weekend multiple times.
Officer Houle was shot in the face, arm and hand last Sunday while in a struggle with a suspect. Police said Quinton Blocker, 37, got a hold of Houle’s gun and shot him multiple times.
The Kernersville Police Department said officer Sean Houle's condition has improved and he remains in "critical but stable condition."
