Alternate Title: No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
Another one from the “you knew the players involved just from the headline” files:
Indiana sheriff’s deputy shot three times in hospital ER after stopping to help stranded motorist
I could stop there and you would know the whole story pretty accurately but I won’t….
An Indiana sheriff’s deputy was shot three times Friday morning in a hospital emergency room by a stranded motorist he had stopped to help and later learned might be connected to an earlier crime, authorities said.
La Porte County Sheriff’s Deputy Jon Samuelson, a 12-year veteran of the force, was airlifted to South Bend Memorial Hospital and remains in critical condition. The alleged gunman, Sharod Grafton Jr., was arrested in the woods near the hospital minutes after the shooting.
Samuelson, 33, was driving to a training session around 6:45 a.m. when he stopped to help a stranded motorist, Grafton, on State Road 2, authorities said. At some point the deputy took Grafton, a Chicago resident, to Franciscan Hospital in Michigan City at his request, police said.
“Once at the hospital, the officer learned that the subject may have been involved in an earlier criminal incident,” Indiana State Police Sgt. Glen Fifield told reporters. “The officer returned inside the hospital where an altercation took place in the emergency room between the suspect and himself, which resulted in the suspect producing a firearm and shooting the officer.”
And the BIG REVEAL!
You could knock me over with a feather.
You would think a 12 year veteran in LaPorte County would check the background of the guy before offering him a ride. On the other hand you would think someone wouldn’t shoot a cop that gave him a ride to the hospital but that is because you aren’t a nigger.
