He continues to have air on his brain, the chief said. This next surgery is intended to try and correct that.

Ney, a 14-year veteran of the force, was critically injured after he was shot July 12 while responding to a domestic violence incident on state Route 48.

He was discharged from a rehabilitation facility July 29 but was readmitted to Miami Valley Hospital on Aug. 17.
