A Pennsylvania state police trooper who was shot in a 2014 ambush has had his right leg amputated below the knee. Trooper Alex Douglass underwent the surgery this week at a New York City hospital. "As an athlete, it will be better for him in the long run," Granville said. The two, both of Scranton, completed the New York City Marathon handcycle event in 2015, he said. ___This story has been corrected to show Douglass did the New York City Marathon handcycle event in 2015, not last month.
