Det. Dan Brite of the Douglas County (CO) Sheriff’s Office was shot last September and seriously wounded. He didn’t wake up from a coma for three months and cannot walk because of his injuries.
Now, an officer who survived similarly life-threatening injuries is reaching out to help Brite.
Officer John Adsit, forced to medically retire from the Denver Police Department after he was hit and dragged by a driver suffering a seizure, formed non-profit charity Adsit Strong to help other officers and first responders badly injured in the line of duty. The charity hopes to raise money to get an off-road wheelchair for Brite, KTTV TV reports.

The charity has teamed up with fellow law enforcement non-profits MC-1 Foundation and Shield 616 to raise money to outfit Brite with an Action TrackChair.
