Authorities in Indiana say a La Porte County Sheriff’s deputy, Jon Samuelson, is shot multiple times after stopping to help a stranded motorist and later encountering the suspect in a hospital emergency room. Police report that Samuelson, 33, stopped to assist the motorist and that the same suspect later shot him three times while he was at the hospital ER. The suspect is identified in one report as Sharod Grafton Jr. The incident is described as occurring in the emergency room rather than at the roadside, with the shooting taking place after the deputy had already contacted or assisted the man. The reports do not describe the deputy’s condition in detail or provide further information about a motive. Authorities have not indicated any additional suspects in the brief accounts, and the reports focus on the sequence of events linking the initial roadside assistance to the later attack in the ER. The case is under investigation.
