Gofundme Setup For The Officer Shot In Rockford

Posted on by September 25, 2017




Support Emergency Personnel

A Gofundme page has been setup to help the officer that was shot in Rockford and his family with expenses. It was started by Breanna Schellschmidt according to the page

Rockford Scanner fully supports Officer Wright and the Winnebago County Sheriff office and highly recommends anyone who has some extra money to help support him as well.

To help ~ https://www.gofundme.com/helping-deputy-officer

Our great friend, Stephen Wright, while on duty as a Deputy Sheriff Officer of Winnebago County,  was shot in the early hours of Saturday Morning Sept. 22nd. This was just the beginning of a horrible nightmare for him and all his loved ones. Since then he has been hospitalized and is still awaiting another surgery before he can make an effort to attempt a full recovery. There is a very long road ahead and one thing is for sure, it won’t be an easy one.

This account was set up to gift our friend with some help in these very serious and troubling times. There are going to be many expenses ahead, and this would allow even the smallest bit of help to him and his fiance. To everyone who has been supporting and helping them in this time of need, thank you so much.

A special thank you to all the officers who have sacrificed their time to help get some justice, and all of the medical professionals aiding in Stephen’s recovery process.

RS Fan Reporting Some Kids Threw A Rock And Broke Their Window

Posted on by September 22, 2017

RS fan

“My sister was traveling on I believe on Railroad ave and 10th st yesterday after dropping my niece off at a college program.   She was minding her own business and heard a large crashing noise and noticed a kid threw a rock at her window and shattered it.

We know these kids just got out of school at Lincoln because they had uniforms on so we went back today and got a couple pictures of them.   These kids need to know how dangerous this act was.  One of the kids even admitted to knowing that the rock throwing happened yesterday but said he wasn’t going to tell on his friends.

My niece was sitting in that seat just moments before and she could have been hit and badly hurt.   A police report has been filed and we also talked to an administrator at Lincoln.”

NOTE: Several fans have reported similar incidents over the last few months.
