Lansdale Native Injured In New Orleans Attack To Head Home Soon

LANSDALE, PA — The Lansdale native and former Princeton football star who was injured in the New Orleans terrorist attack on New Year's morning will soon be released from the hospital, according to media sources.

Ryan Quigley, 27, is expected to head home on Friday, his mother told 6ABC.

Quigley, a 2016 Lansdale Catholic and 2020 Princeton graduate and decorated athlete, was among the 35 injured in the incident. A total of 15 people were killed, including Quigley's close friend and former Princeton teammate, Tiger Bech.

Quigley's family and friends said that he suffered broken bones but that his injuries are not life-threatening.

A GoFundMe for Quigley and Bech was launched, but was later paused after quickly raising $80,000 as organizers evaluated needs of the families.

"We are amazed by the amount of love and support you have all shown during this time. To provide an update, Ryan is doing okay," his family shared on the GoFundMe. "He is stable and resting in the company of his family and friends. Thank you all so much. Ryan loves you all. Please keep the Bech family, the other families, and all of those affected by this tragedy in your prayers. Thank you all. Love, the Quigleys."

Quigley was a two-time MVP of the Philadelphia Catholic League while in high school and went on to be a key cog in some of the most offensively powerful Princeton football teams in school history.

Both Quigley and Bech lived in New York City and worked together at Seaport Global, a brokerage firm, according to the Associated Press. They were in New Orleans for a hunting and fishing trip around the New Year.
