ROSEBURG: The victim of last month’s shooting at Roseburg High School has been discharged from the hospital and is back home with his family.
Joseph Monti, a 16-year-old RHS sophomore, returned to his Melrose home Tuesday from Mercy Medical Center. Monti was shot the morning of Feb. 23 allegedly by a fellow student on the school campus.
He was struck four times and has since had surgery to remove two bullets and remaining bullet fragments. Family members say Monti has a long road of recovery ahead of him, including reconstructive surgery.
Family members have said they plan to move back to California, where they moved from about two years ago.
The alleged shooter, RHS freshman Vincent Leodoro, 14, remains in the Douglas County Juvenile Detention center, awaiting his April 18 trial.
