On May 31, 2026, Officers Jacob Clark and Jacob Wells responded to a domestic disturbance call that quickly escalated into a gunfight due to the perpetrator’s actions. During the approximately 35-minute exchange, both officers were struck by gunfire from either a 9mm handgun or a 7.62 caliber rifle.

Officer Clark sustained seven gunshot wounds and has already undergone multiple surgeries. As part of his lifesaving treatment, he has received more than 71 units of blood. Officer Wells was struck twice, suffering a severe gunshot wound to his right bicep severing his brachial artery as well as a graze wound to his right wrist.

As Officers Clark and Wells focus on their recovery, this fundraiser has been established to support them and their families during the difficult journey ahead. Donations will help ease the financial burdens associated with rehabilitation, time away from work, and the many unforeseen challenges these families will face in the months to come. Your support will allow both officers to focus fully on healing and recovery.

Please consider donating and sharing this fundraiser. Most importantly, please keep Officers Jacob Clark and Jacob Wells, their families, their fellow officers, and all Chesterfield first responders in your thoughts and prayers during this challenging time.
