Upon arrival, officers discovered that Steven Meyer and his wife, Kimberly, had both sustained gunshot wounds.

Authorities reported that Steven Meyer was shot in the arm, while Kimberly Meyer suffered a gunshot wound to the hip.

Both individuals were said to be in stable condition following the incident.

Justice Loretta H. Rush identified Steven Meyer as a judge for Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 and noted their long-standing friendship in her comments.

“I am deeply grateful he and his wife Kim are alive after having been shot in their home. Their health and well-being are of utmost concern to me,” Rush said.

Rush said the shooter is at large.

“I worry about the safety of all our judges. As you work to peacefully resolve more than 1 million cases a year, you must not only feel safe, you must also be safe. Any violence against a judge or a judge’s family is completely unacceptable. As public servants, you are dedicated to the rule of law,” Rush said. “Please remain vigilant in your own security.”

Kimberly Meyer thanked first responders and the community in a statement released by police.

“I have great confidence in the Lafayette Police Department’s investigation and want to thank all the agencies involved for their work,” she said. “We are also incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from the community; everyone has been so kind and compassionate. We would also like to thank the medical personnel who provided care and assistance to us following the incident.”

Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski called the shooting a “senseless unacceptable act of violence.”

The FBI is involved in the investigation.
