Elder Bradley Green, the LDS Church missionary shot in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, on March 10 during a robbery attempt, was released from the hospital late Tuesday.

"He's walking just fine," said President Alan Anderson of the Brazil Rio De Janeiro North Mission.

His father, Garth Green, also shot during the attack, was released from the hospital Monday.

The Greens, including Elder Green's mother, Wendy, who was not injured, plan to fly out of Rio on Thursday night. They were to arrive in Utah sometime Friday, but exact travel plans have not been announced.

Garth and Wendy Green, of Cedar City, were in Brazil to pick up Elder Green after the completion of his two-year mission.
