Sneed’s leg was injured when a fellow officer struck him. At the time, Sneed was helping Superintendent Matias Segura leave a congested parking lot after a June 4 high school graduation at the Tony Burger Athletic Center. 

In a statement, the Austin ISD Police Department said the staff at Dell Seton Medical Center, where Sneed had been receiving care, had been “exceptional.”  

“While his recovery journey continues, Chief is looking forward to focusing on rebuilding his strength in the weeks ahead through rehab,” the statement said. 

The police chief will continue recovery at home, according to the department.
