Donavan La Bella making ‘remarkable’ recovery from head injury after being shot by feds with impact munition, sister says

By Noelle Crombie | The Oregonian/OregonLive

Donavan La Bella remained hospitalized on Sunday with head injuries he suffered one week ago after he was shot with an impact munition by a federal law enforcement officer.

La Bella, 26, is being treated at Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, where his sister, Stephanie Thornton, said Sunday that her brother has made remarkable improvement given the extent of his injuries. She said her brother gets “really bad headaches” but continues to recuperate.

“He is doing amazing,” said Thornton, who spoke from her brother’s hospital room. She said her brother is progressing “a lot better” than doctors expected.

A deputy U.S. Marshal with the agency’s tactical unit fired on La Bella during last Saturday night’s demonstration in front of the federal courthouse in downtown Portland.

What they did to him was unconstitutional and a crime.
