ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DETECTIVE JACOB GRANT IS STILL IN CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER BEING SHOT ON JANUARY 9TH BY ANOTHER OFFICER DURING A STING OPERATION AT CENTRAL AND TRAMWAY. BUT THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT SAYS HE'S NOW CONSCIOUS AND OFF THE VENTILATOR. THAT MEANS DETECTIVE GRANT IS NOW ABLE TO SPEAK, THOUGH WITH DIFFICULTY.
APD SPOKESMAN TANNER TIXIER SAYS IT'LL BE SOME TIME BEFORE THEY CAN INTERVIEW GRANT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.
GRANT WAS SHOT BY LIEUTENANT GREG BRACHLE. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS COURT RECORDS SHOW DRUG CHARGES FILED AGAINST THE 2 SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN THE CASE WERE DROPPED JANUARY 20TH.
