The circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation. (CBS Sacramento) After almost two months, injured U.S. Marine Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews made his first public statement about his recovery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Vargas-Andrews, of Folsom, was injured in the August 26th attack in Kabul, Afghanistan. He said, in part, "Let me start by saying that these past almost 2 months have indeed been hard. I have been trying to figure out what I want to say and how to say it. The outpouring of support from friends, family, organizations, and even just complete strangers has been unreal. I won't ever be able to thank everyone enough, but still, thank you." He remains in critical but stable condition. A GoFundMe campaign was launched on behalf of Vargas-Andrews' family.
