March 15, 2016 marks one year since Fort Worth police officer Matt Pearce was shot multiple times while pursuing two armed robbery suspects.

Officer Pearce had been critically wounded in the shootout between the officers, a fugitive and his son. During the shootout, the fugitive Ed McIver Sr., was fatally shot. His son was arrested and remains in prison.

"It's been a long year," said Officer Pearce. "I say it's been a long year, but it's been a long year and a short year all in the same token. I'm not as healthy as I'd like to be, but in the long run, I guess I'm just glad to be alive."

This video will offer some insight from Officer Pearce and his wife, Laura. It also includes interviews with some other people that were there that fateful day.
