🙏🙏

***Update*** on Adams County Sheriff’s Sergeant Shane Thatcher, who was shot twice last night in the line of duty.

Sources within the Adams County Sheriff’s Office have provided us with some very encouraging news.

Sergeant Thatcher was shot once in the chest—with the round thankfully striking his ballistic vest…and once in the thigh—with the bullet that missed anything vital.

The suspect was shot once in the face and has undergone surgery.

How blessed is Sergeant Thatcher?

Sergeant Thatcher was airlifted to UC Medical Center following the shooting, but apparently, this absolute badass decided he’d had enough of the hospital and wanted to go HOME.

That’s exactly what he did—he was released from the hospital last night. Badassery.

We are incredibly grateful that Sergeant Thatcher survived this encounter and was able to return home.

Please keep Sergeant Thatcher and the Adams County Sheriff’s Office in your prayers.
