Aric Matson and his wife Megan stood at a podium today at the Minnesota Senate Building in St. Paul. A year ago the Waseca Policeman was battling for his life. Matson was shot in the head while responding to a call in Waseca January 6, 2020.
A news conference was held by State Senator John Jasinski (R-Faribault) and Representative John Petersburg (R-Waseca) to introduce a bill named after Matson to increase penalties against individuals convicted of attempted first degree murder of a police officer.
Judges, prosecutors and correctional officers are also included.
Megan Matson told those gathered, As a couple we believe that there is a purpose to why the Lord chose Aric that night. We are turning a tragic event that happened to our family into something purposeful. With the Lord by our side we listen to him and he guides and provides for us.
