Ethan Pritchard rings the bell as he leaves a Jacksonville rehabilitation facility

The FSU freshman football player who was shot in the head in late August is back home.

Ethan Prichard was hospitalized for over a month at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital before being transferred to Brooks Rehabilitation in Jacksonville. He was released from the rehab facility Thursday, surrounded by cheering staff and supporters.

Four suspects are charged in the shooting, which happened as Pritchard drove family members home. Investigators say the suspects were targeting someone else.
