He is still in the intensive care unit at Sunninghill Hospital.
“He remains in ICU and is progressing well. He is expected to make a full recovery.”

Comment pasted from the Citizen Newspaper:
“United States Embassy spokesperson Jack Hilmer said they were aware of the shooting.
They were however not authorised to comment because Trent is a private citizen.”
Just curious as to procedure:
Does the USA never comment when their citizens are attacked / killed / robbed in foreign countries?
