Sioux City officer says being shot made her more cautious

News

January 16th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – A Sioux City officer who was shot in the face by a man who later took his own life says she knew she was ready to return to work. Officer Jill Ohm said on Thursday that, “I believe I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing – my job. I wouldn’t have come back if I wasn’t ready to come back.” She returned to duty on Jan. 6th. Ohm also said at a news conference in Sioux City that her ordeal has made her more skeptical of people.

Ohm was shot Oct. 3 by 27-year-old Noah Ironshell after Ohm responded to a report about a suicidal person. Ironshell was found later in an abandoned home, suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He died Oct. 12 in an Omaha, Nebraska, hospital.
