Community Rallies for Paramedic Injured in Thompson, PA Attack
Jason, a dedicated paramedic with 25 years of service, was involved in a horrific act of violence last week in Thompson, PA. He was shot at, wrecked his QRV, and suffered injuries while bravely trying to save others. His selflessness and commitment to helping others have inspired countless people over the years.
A Career Built on Sacrifice
Throughout his career, Jason has consistently put the lives of others before his own, often without protection. Now he faces a long and challenging recovery, not only physically but also mentally. His family is rallying around him and is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support they are receiving.
Service That Reaches Beyond One Community
Jason’s dedication extends far beyond his local community. He also serves as a paramedic in the city, where his absence will be felt just as strongly. As one of his former colleagues put it, “That’s Jason, steady hands, steady heart, always there for his team and community.” Now it is time for others to be there for him.
The Power of Community Support
The Larsen family has been touched by the overwhelming kindness from friends, colleagues, and neighbors. They appreciate the thoughts, prayers, and encouragement being shared during this difficult time and remain hopeful for Jason’s full and speedy recovery.

Standing Beside Jason in His Recovery
A GoFundMe has been created to help cover Jason’s medical expenses and support his family during this difficult time. Donations will go toward treatment costs, rehabilitation, and the resources he needs to heal both physically and emotionally.
The Larsen family is deeply appreciative of every contribution, no matter the size, and they encourage anyone who is able to donate or share the fundraiser with others. You can find the campaign at this link.
