A judge and his wife were shot and wounded at their suburban Indiana home on Sunday — sparking a massive multi-agency investigation as the suspect remains at large, according to authorities.
Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 Judge Steven Meyer and his wife, Kimberly, were shot just before 2:30 p.m. in their home on Mill Pond Lane in Lafayette on Sunday, according to the Lafayette Police Department.
Judge Meyer, 66, sustained an injury to his arm, and Kimberly Meyer sustained an injury to her hip during the shooting, cops said.
A 911 caller reported that someone knocked on the door and said they had the couple’s dog before a shot blasted through the door, according to a recording of emergency dispatch audio obtained by CBS.
The judge and his wife were both brought to a local hospital in stable condition, police added. Judge Meyer remained in the hospital in stable condition on Monday, Indiana Supreme Court Chief Justice Loretta Rush said in a statement.
Shell casings were recovered on the scene, according to authorities.
As of Sunday evening, the alleged gun-wielding suspect has not been caught, and authorities have been tight-lipped about a possible motive or description of the shooter.
“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,” Rush said in a statement.
“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,” Rush added.
“Any violence against a judge or a judge’s family is completely unacceptable. As public servants, you are dedicated to the rule of law.”
Kimberly Meyer said in a statement that she has “great confidence” in the police department’s investigation.
“We are also incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from the community; everyone has been so kind and compassionate,” Meyer wrote.
“We would especially like to thank the medical personnel who provided care and assistance to us following the incident.”
A joint investigation between the Lafayette Police Department, Indiana State Police, Tippecanoe County Sheriff’s Office, West Lafayette Police Department, Tippecanoe County Prosecutor’s Office, and the FBI remains ongoing, authorities said.
Rush encouraged residents to “remain vigilant” and to contact their local sheriff if they have any information about the shooting or suspect.
Judge Meyer recently announced his plans to retire at the end of 2026, after serving as a Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 judge for 12 years.
Before he was elected to the bench, the Indiana University School of Law grad served on the Lafayette City Council for 23 years, The Exponent reported.
