LOS ANGELES -- Anchorman Jerry Dunphy, shot in the neck and arm in an ambush outside the television station where he worked, has been released from Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center in good condition.
Dunphy, 62, anchor of Los Angeles' top-rated newscast at KABC, was released from the hospital Tuesday, less than a week after successful surgery for removal of the bullet fired into his neck.
At the time of the operation, doctors had said Dunphy could return to work in a few weeks.
Dunphy and KABC makeup artist Sandra Marshall were assaulted Oct. 24 as they were driving to the station after dinner to prepare for the 11 p.m. newscast.
Four gunmen drove up alongside Dunphy's silver-blue Rolls-Royce at a stop sign outside ABC Television Center in Hollywood and shot and wounded the two. Ms. Marshall, 36, shot in an arm, was released from the hospital last week.
The assailants fled and remain at large. KABC has offered a $25,000 reward for information leading to their arrest and conviction.
Police investigators have not determined a motive for the shooting, which they say could have been a random street gang attack or a contract 'hit.'
