Wake Co. sheriff's deputy released from hospital after being shot on duty last month

Wake County Sheriff Gerald Baker announced the news Wednesday evening during the Wake County Commissioner’s board meeting.

Baker says sgt. Waller will continue to recover from his injuries at home, following several surgeries. Waller faces ongoing rehabilitation and physical therapy.

In the morning of June 2, Wake deputies, along with area law enforcement agencies, responded to the River Birch at Town Center Apartments off Old Wake Forest Road in Raleigh, after Sgt. Waller was shot while serving an eviction notice.

Wake sheriff says deputy shot on duty is in good spirits and slowly recovering

Baker says that because of this incident, his department is now looking into how eviction notices are executed.

“If he or she experiences what is going to be noncompliance or failure to cooperate with executing that order, we’re learning from what happened to Sergeant Waller, we will then back away, reassess," Baker said in June. "If it becomes necessary to bring in or special response team, [we will].”

Waller, a 20-year-veteran of the sheriff's office, continues to recover from his injuries, the Wake County Sheriff’s Office reminds citizens interested in supporting the family can do so by visiting any of the 272 State Employee Credit Union of North Carolina branches statewide.
