Dic Donohue Donates Blood for the First Time, Two Years After Marathon Shooting
Richard “Dic’’ Donohue, the MBTA officer who was shot during a firefight between police and the two Boston Marathon bombers, donated blood for the first time today.
Almost two years ago in Watertown, a bullet hit Donohue near his right groin, severing his femoral artery. He needed 46 units of blood to survive his surgery two years ago.
