On the evening of August 22, 2024 the Marshall County Sheriff’s Special Response Team responded to a barricaded subject. After negotiations failed, the subject began shooting out a window, striking MCSO Deputy Jacob Hamm in the forearm and spraying him with shrapnel. Fellow deputies returned fire while pulling Dep. Hamm behind cover. They assessed Deputy Hamm and discovered that a round had penetrated and exited his left forearm and was bleeding profusely. MCSO Chief Deputy Tim Reynolds applied his granted tourniquet to Dep. Hamm’s arm, but it did not fully occlude the blood flow. A second tourniquet was then applied above the first. The second tourniquet was able to stop the bleeding and Dep. Hamm was evacuated to a local hospital for treatment. Doctors found that the bullet barely missed striking the Radius and Ulna bones, but had severed a large vein. Dep. Hamm’s arm was able to be repaired using stitches. He experienced mild nerve damage immediately after the incident that resulted in weakness and loss of feeling in his hand and fingers. A week after the incident, the nerve damage had healed, and Dep. Hamm has since returned to full duty. #stopthebleed #savinglives #officersave With - North American Rescue, LLC and Blue Force Gear, Inc.
