In a shocking incident in Lafayette, Indiana, a local judge and his wife are recovering from a shooting at their residence, as confirmed on Monday. The couple, identified as Tippecanoe County Superior Court Judge Steven Meyer and his wife Kimberly Meyer, are currently in stable condition, according to Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush.

The shooting occurred on Sunday, shortly after 2 p.m., when police were dispatched to the Meyer home. Upon arrival, officers found Steven Meyer suffering from a gunshot wound to his arm, while Kimberly Meyer had been shot in the hip.

Authorities have collected shell casings from the scene but have yet to make any arrests. The investigation is ongoing, with the FBI actively participating in the effort to solve the case.

Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski addressed the community, emphasizing the commitment to apprehend those responsible. “Every available resource is being utilized to bring the individual(s) responsible for this senseless act to justice,” he stated, expressing his confidence in the capabilities of the Lafayette Police Department. He also extended his gratitude to all local, state, and federal agencies assisting in the case.

Kimberly Meyer echoed this sentiment in a statement, conveying her and her husband’s trust in the ongoing investigation. She thanked all the agencies involved for their diligent work in seeking justice.

Kimberly Meyer also released a statement through the police department saying that she and her husband “have great confidence in the Lafayette Police Department’s investigation and want to thank all the agencies involved for their work.”

She also thanked the “overwhelming outpouring of support from the community” as well as medical personnel.

In her statement, Rush urged other judges in the state to “remain vigilant in your own security.” The statement also noted that the Meyers’ “shooter is purportedly still at large.”

Rick Snyder, president of the Indianapolis Fraternal Order of Police, issued a statement saying that his organization wanted “to ensure our judges and other members of criminal jusgice system are safe and free to complete their work without fear for their safety and that of their families,” WXIN reported.

Investigators, meanwhile, have provided no information whatsoever about the shooting or any possible suspects.

According to the Lafayette Journal & Courier, Meyer, 66, had previously been a Lafayette city council member and a public defender. He announced in December that he would not seek reelection to his post as judge.
