Nearly a dozen people were recognized by the city of Edinburg for their “swift action” in responding to a January shooting threat at the Edinburg Regional Children’s Hospital.
The Hometown Heroes award was presented to 10 officers with the Edinburg Police Department and the hospital’s security guard in a Thursday ceremony.
Police responded to the hospital on Jan. 27 after a teen allegedly threatened to “shoot the place and a security officer.”
