LaPorte County Sheriff’s Deputy Jon Samuelson is returning home after 173 days away. 

The sheriff’s department says Samuelson has been discharged from the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab in Chicago, where he underwent rehabilitation after being shot multiple times.

He will continue intensive outpatient therapy three days a week while living in LaPorte County.

Sharod Grafton, the man accused of shooting Samuelson, is scheduled to stand trial in February 2027.
