It's an interview you'll only see on Q13 FOX and Washington's Most Wanted. Sergeant Nick Hausner sits down with WMW Host David Rose and tells us he's returning to duty once he is fully healed.
Sgt. Hausner opens up for the very first time since he was gunned down on a domestic violence call in Eatonville. Fellow officer, Deputy Kent Mundell, was killed in the attack. He tells Rose, "I'm doing pretty well. It was obviously a traumatic incident and it was hard for everybody, obviously Kent and his family, the community as a whole. It's a difficult time for everybody but I'm working through it." says Sgt. Hausner.
Sgt. Hausner still has bandages on his face. The bullet had entered his cheek and exited near his spinal cord at the back of his neck. He tells us that by the grace of God he is alive and he is grateful for the efforts Deputy Mundell made that night. He continues to recover from his wounds and a nurse comes by every day to change his bandages.
Sgt. Hausner talks about his recovery, "It's going pretty well. It's a slow process and getting better every day and seeing improvement every day so I'm thankful for that. "
The attack happened on December 21, just a few days before Christmas. Investigators say Sgt. Hausner and Deputy Mundell were trying to remove David Crable from his brother's home in Eatonville. Deputies say Crable had agreed to go but while leaving he pulled out a gun hidden in a shirt and got off 10 shots. According to cops, it was Mundell that returned fire and killed Crable.
Sgt. Hausner calls Mundell a hero. He tells us that Mundell saved a lot lives that night including his own.
He also pointed out another hero . The 16 year old daughter of the suspect, Bryona Crable. Sgt. Hausner says she was brave and also tells us he considers her a hero for her actions that night.
He tells us he appreciates the overwhelming support he's received from the community and hopes everyone will turn out for a fundraiser with bands for Kent Mundell's family at the Swiss on Sunday evening, January 31.
Sgt. Hausner is expected to come back to work and patrol the same streets he policed before the attack. He says it's hard to say when he'll be back. To return to work, he has to heal first. A nurse still has to change the bandage on his face daily.
"I'll definitely be back to work," he says. "I just don't know when yet. I have to be medically cleared and I'll work light duty for a little while, behind a desk. Then I'll be back on the street as soon as I can."
