Jasper County deputy who was shot released from hospital

     (AP) – A southwest Missouri sheriff's deputy who was shot last week
while serving a warrant in Joplin has been released from the hospital.
     The Jasper County Sheriff's Office says deputy Nolan Murray was released from
the hospital Monday. The department says he is expected to make a full recovery
and hopes to return to work.
     The Joplin Globe reports Murray was shot in the upper body last Wednesday
when the Ozarks Drug Enforcement Team was serving a warrant at a Joplin motel.
     The shot was fired out of the motel. The suspect then holed up in the motel
for about three hours before surrendering.
     A suspect, 43-year-old E.F. Fitchpatrick of St. Louis, has been charged with
first-degree assault, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a
firearm.
