Registered nurse Lorena Schulte, 50, and correctional officer Robert McFarland, 46, both were killed in 2021 at the Iowa Anamosa Correctional facility. Schulte and McFarland tried to stop the escape of two inmates, and the inmates then attacked the employees. A scholarship fund was set up in their names for high school students hoping to get into nursing or law enforcement.
Waseca MN Officer Arik Matson was shot in January of 2020 when he and other officers responded to a report of a suspicious person. When they found the man, later identified as Tyler Janovsky, he ran onto the roof of a garage and shot at the officers, hitting Matson in the head. He spent 10 months in the hospital and underwent physical therapy in Omaha, Nebraska. Donation proceeds will be sent to the Matson family and Shulte and Mcfarland scholarship fund.
