The family of the policeman injured in Jupille by a bullet in the head on September 9, 2019, announced on Tuesday that he was doing better and better. Maxime Pans, police officer from Liège, was seriously shot in the head by an armed individual during an intervention in September 2019, rue de Visé. His colleague then retaliated by using his service weapon and fatally hit the assailant.
The family of the former policeman wanted to give an update:
“Maxime has been living in the ‘La Célinie’ nursing and care home in Crisnée for nine months now. Maxime has been fighting for nine months every day to maintain as much autonomy as possible with the help of MRS medical team (physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, psychologists, etc.) Today, Maxime always gets tired very quickly and he can only move around in his electric wheelchair for 2 to 3 hours a day. with mobility limited to his right arm alone and with a complicated oral expression”writes the family of Maxime Pans before continuing:
“The days are therefore not all easy, but Maxime keeps an impressive morale while we try around him to find the little tips and tricks that can improve his daily life. Sometimes, it’s regarding blinds that he can operate with his tablet or even a more comfortable bed compatible with the long moments that Maxime spends in the lying position.”
Maxime is still frequently visited by police colleagues, we learn. “These contacts give him a lot of pleasure and serenity in exchanges which make him say that policeman remains the most beautiful profession in the world”.
