CHARLOTTE, N.C. (FOX 46 CHARLOTTE) - A happy update from one of the UNC Charlotte shooting victims came on Friday.

Drew Pescaro, who was seriously injured in the April 30 attack, had his last surgery today, getting him one step closer to heading home.

The victims and students are slowly getting a sense of normalcy, with graduation ceremonies beginning one week ago.

The other students who were injured, Sean DeHart and Rami Alramadhan were released from the hospital and are reportedly doing well.

Riley Howell and Reed Parlier, who were killed when the gunman opened fire, have since been laid to rest.
