Antigo Prom Shooting Victim Fund

While the victim of the shooting wishes to remain anonymous, many are looking to help.  As a close family friend, I am trying to centralize the help and have started this page.  Any funds given will go directly to the family to help pay for incidental expenses.  The following is the official statement released by the family of the victim...

On behalf of the family, we would like to give the following statement. (The victim) is doing well. He has come through a long surgery and will recover with time and effort, but we have always believed that God is good and has a plan even in the midst of tragedy. We are so thankful for his girlfriend and two friends on the scene who acted so bravely and calm. We would also like to thank the police officers who responded so quickly, the medical staff, doctors and the surgeons that have already gone above and beyond to help our son, and all the law enforcement from many counties who have dedicated themselves to investigating this shooting. We would like to especially thank the officers who saved the lives of our son, his girlfriend, their two friends, and the countless amount of students, staff and others in and around the school. Lastly, we cannot express enough thanks for our family, friends, fellow employees, church, employers, school administration and those in the community who continue to shown and communicate their kindness and love to our son and family. Please continue to pray for (the victim), his girlfriend, two friends, fellow classmates and everyone else involved as they recover from this traumatic night. Please also pray for the family of Jakob Wagner. As much as we are struggling through this event, we cannot imagine the grief they are experiencing at this time. We want everyone to know that we believe and trust in the eternal God. We are so thankful for the hope that we have in Him. That all can be forgiven of their sins and have eternal life when they believe in Jesus Christ as Savior.
