The Indiana State Fraternal Order of Police asks everyone across our state to keep LaPorte County Sheriff’s Deputy Jon Samuelson in their thoughts and prayers following this morning’s line-of-duty shooting in Michigan City.
Deputy Samuelson remains in critical condition as he courageously battles through his injuries. During this difficult time, we stand in full support of Deputy Samuelson, his family, his fellow deputies, and the entire LaPorte County law enforcement community.
May he find strength in the overwhelming support surrounding him, and may he make a full and swift recovery.
