Grace Davidson, Paul’s wife, says that he is recovering but sustained a concussion and a huge gash on the top of his head that required staples.

“He survived. Thank God,” Grace wrote on a Facebook post. “My husband surely has a guardian angel watching over him. Being a cop’s wife is not easy. You worry every night. Is he going to come home? Can I go to bed now without worrying? It’s our reality every day.”

“Last week, we were talking about retiring at the beach together, and today, I’m just completely satisfied and in love with watching him recover in his recliner,” Grace said. “Life can change so quickly. I believe there’s a special plan for Paul. He’s the love of our lives, all six of our kids. We treasure every day and know we are so lucky to have our family together.”
