NAPLES, Fla. — An officer who survived a shot to the head in an incident that killed a fellow officer will get her service weapon back, a judge has ruled.
According to the News-Press, 40-year-old Sgt. Amy Young’s service weapon was taken away after a judge ordered her to surrender it following a temporary restraining order that was placed against her.
The order was requested by the ex-wife of the officer killed in the double-shooting, 37-year-old Luis “Dave” Monroig, a 10-year-veteran police officer.
The restraining order was later lifted after a judge cited a lack of evidence that Young posed a threat to Monroig’s two children, who were inside the house at the time of the shooting.
Few details have emerged from the July 9 shooting, which is still under investigation. It is unknown who fired the shots that wounded Young or that killed Monroig.
Monroig and Young were both shot during the domestic incident in the house they shared together. Young survived a gunshot wound to the head and was released from the hospital July 24. Young, a 14-year-veteran, has not been charged in the incident or returned to active duty, according to the report.
Young was the subject of multiple internal investigations, the News-Press previously reported, but had exceeded expectations in her last three annual reviews.
Monroig had also received stellar performance reviews for his last three reports before he died.
