Indiana Chief Justice Loretta Rush released the following statement:

Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 Judge Steve Meyer is a fellow judge and a longtime friend. 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.

As of the sending of this message, the shooter is purportedly still at large. Please be in contact with your local sheriff.

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.

I know you join me in praying for Steve and Kim and their speedy recovery. Meantime, please remain vigilant in your own security.

Loretta H. Rush
