0:53Now PlayingThe girl who was left critically hurt after being shot in the head when a gunman opened fire into Annunciation Church was released from the hospital on Thursday, nearly two months after the mass shooting.
Family have said that Forchas' recovery has been nothing short of a miracle since she was shot on Aug. 27. Forchas, then 12, was struck in the head by a rifle round and left in critical condition.
The family said doctors told them Sophia was on the brink of death when she came to the hospital. After the shooting, she needed extensive surgery, including having part of her skull removed to release pressure from swelling, and was placed in a medically-induced coma.
The family thanked supporters in the weeks that followed, telling them "their prayers were working." On Thursday, she was able to walk around and talk with her supporters before heading back to school.
