Klinker praying for Judge Meyer and his wife’s recovery, thankful for local law enforcement

Yesterday, Jan. 19, Tippecanoe County Judge Steve Meyer and his wife, Kim Meyer, were victims of a shooting at their Lafayette home. Both are in stable condition after receiving medical attention.

State Rep. Sheila Klinker (D-Lafayette) released the following statement:

“I’m saddened by this senseless act of violence that has wounded two pillars of the Lafayette community. Judge Meyer is a longtime friend who has served our area for decades. I am deeply grateful that Steve and his wife, Kim, are in stable condition, and I am praying for their recovery.

“Thank you to the Lafayette Police Department and our local paramedics for their quick response. I believe that they will find and apprehend the individual responsible. Violence against our judges who serve selflessly and generously is unacceptable.”
