Authorities in Indiana have apprehended five individuals in connection with the shooting of a local judge and his wife at their residence earlier this week, according to a statement released by the police.

The Lafayette Police Department identified the suspects as Raylen Ferguson, 38, and Zenada Greer, 61, both hailing from Lexington, Kentucky. Additionally, Thomas Moss, 43, Blake Smith, 32, and Amanda Milsap, 45, all from Lafayette, Indiana, were detained following the January 18th attack on Tippecanoe County Judge Steven Meyer and his spouse, Kimberly. Judge Meyer suffered an arm injury, while his wife sustained a hip injury. Both are currently reported to be in stable condition.

Charges against Ferguson, Moss, and Smith include attempted murder, aggravated battery, and intimidation with a deadly weapon, accompanied by gang and firearm enhancements. Notably, Moss and Smith have been identified as “habitual offenders” by the police.

“These arrests are the result of a comprehensive, collaborative effort among multiple agencies,” the Lafayette Police Department said. 

Sunday’s incident marked the first recorded act of violence against the judge, according to the Lafayette Police Department. Officials had no records of previous threats against Meyer or 911 calls from the judge’s Mill Pond Lane address, a department spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital.

Dispatch audio obtained by Fox News Digital showed that the unidentified shooter allegedly knocked on the door of Meyer’s home around 2:15 p.m. Sunday, then fired gunshots through the door. Before firing the gun, the suspect said, “We have your dog,” according to the audio. 

“I am so grateful for the outpouring of support from friends, the community, court colleagues, and law enforcement,” Judge Meyer said in a statement Wednesday in his first public comments since the shooting. “I want to express my heartfelt thanks to my medical team. I am receiving excellent care and I am improving. Kim is also deeply appreciative for the community support, and she too is healing.”

“I want the community to know that I have strong faith in our judicial system,” the judge said. “This horrific violence will not shake my belief in the importance of peacefully resolving disputes. I remain confident we have the best judicial system in the world, and I am proud to be a part of it.”
