We’re learning more about a shooting that left an Indiana judge, and his wife, wounded earlier this month.
“This was an assault on the rule of law itself.”
Lafayette Police sharing new details about the January 18th shooting at the home of Tippecanoe County Superior Court Judge Steven Meyer and his wife, Kim, days after four people were arrested in Indiana, and a fifth suspect detained in Kentucky.
“This was a severe attack on our judicial system. This wasn’t just going after a man and woman in their house. They went after him for a reason. He was targeted.”
FBI officials say Meyer was set to oversee a domestic abuse case involving a member of a Detroit based motorcycle club and street gang, and when the victim turned down a 10-thousand-dollar bribe to not testify, the suspects turned their attention to the Judge.
This is Lafayette Mayor Tony Roswarski.
“This is one of those incidents that really strike at the heart of a community.”
Three men face attempted murder charges, two women are also charged.
Both Judge Meyer and his wife are expected to make full recoveries.
