The gunman who shot an Indiana judge and his wife on Sunday afternoon used a calculated deception to draw them to their front door. According to dispatch audio, the attacker knocked and said 'we have your dog' before opening fire through the door.

Judge Steven Meyer suffered a gunshot wound to his arm, whilst his wife Kimberly was hit in the hip. The shooting happened around 14:15 at their Lafayette home on Mill Pond Lane. Both are now in stable condition after receiving treatment, but the shooter remains at large. Lafayette police confirmed they found shell casings at the scene, though the exact number of shots fired is unclear. No arrests have been made, and authorities have not released any description of the suspect.
