Deputy saves nurse in Michigan City ER, then is shot and paralyzed
A LaPorte County sheriff’s deputy, Jon Samuelson, saved a nurse’s life during a struggle with Sharod Grafton in the Franciscan Health Michigan City ER before Samuelson was shot. Samuelson sustained multiple gunshot wounds and is paralyzed from the neck down after surgery, while Grafton fled but was later captured and faces charges of attempted murder, battery on a public safety official and auto theft. The nurse credited the deputy with saving his life, and Samuelson has shown signs of progress in recovery as he remains in hospital with his K-9 partner Bosco nearby.
