Tragically, last night Waseca Police Officer and Freeborn, MN resident, Arik Matson, was reportedly ambushed and severely wounded while responding to a domestic disturbance complaint in Waseca.https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/01/07/bca-officer-suspect-hospitalized-following-shooting-in-waseca/ …
Officials are expected to provide an update on Officer Matson's condition later this morning. I communicated with Arik's father, retired Officer Tim Matson, overnight. On behalf of all southern Minnesotans, I offered our deepest concerns and prayers for Arik and his family.
The work of our police officers can be exceptionally difficult and unpredictable. Dealing with illegal drug use and trafficking, people suffering from mental illness, and felony crimes perpetrated by evil people too often place the lives of those who protect and serve at risk.
The vast majority of southern Minnesotans and all Americans respect and admire the work and courage of our police and law enforcement community. To our men and women in Blue: We appreciate you and have your backs! -JH
