WEST VALLEY CITY — A 17-year-old boy who survived a shooting that killed the rest of his immediate family in December is expected to be released from the hospital soon.
Teachers from Granger High School visited 17-year-old Sha Reh in the hospital and reported that he is "recovering well." The school called it "one of the most fabulous miracles of the season."
Reh was shot in the head during a shooting spree at his home that took the lives of the rest of his immediate family. Police believe Reh's father shot his wife and four children, including Sha Reh, before shooting himself.
The teenager was found alive but critically injured in the garage on Dec. 17 following a welfare check. His family members were dead inside the home, including his mother Bu Meh, 38, brother Boe Reh, 11, sister Kristina Ree, 8, and sister Nyay Meh, 2. His father was also found dead with a gun.
"He has a long and complex road to recovery. He needs our full attention, our unconditional love and the Savior's gifts of healing and peace," the mother's extended family said shortly after the shooting.
The Granger High School staff raised money to purchase headphones for Sha Reh, and many of his teachers visited him to pass along the gift.
"We're so glad to see him doing so well! Lots of Lancer Love for Sha!" a Facebook post said.
