The sounds of bagpipes and applause rang out at a Bronx hospital Tuesday morning, as a Yonkers detective was discharged almost two weeks after suffering a life-threatening gunshot wound. AielloTV reports.

McDonald mentioned Menton's twin brother, Jimmy, who is also in law enforcement. He was on the job with his brother and helped rush him to Jacobi after the shooting.

"I would say he had one foot and four toes at the pearly gates. He was really, really sick. Jimmy made the decision to do two things, both get him here right away and call us ahead of time," said Dr. Sheldon Teperman, Jacobi's trauma medical director. "We don't love walkouts, but we like them much more than funerals. This staff here, the hospital staff, is unbelievable. Chief of surgery, he saved his life, as did his brother. So we're very grateful about that," McDonald added. Menton still faces a long recovery, but he'll do it at home after leaving the hospital.
