The motorcade is not expected to travel south into Douglas County.
Lenz' welcomes all to show support. The Douglas County Sheriff’s deputies who responded to the incident on Dec. 20 shooting will lead the escort.
“We are so grateful of the quality care he received from Renown, we’re glad he’s coming home to be with his family and take time to heal,” said Douglas County Sheriff Dan Coverley.

“His return home before we close out the year is a great gift,” Furlong said.
