I got a text from Fox 59:

An officer has been shot at 36th and Sherman.

Might be a good time to listen:

Indianapolis Metro, Speedway, Lawrence, and Beech Grove Police Live Audio Feed

Hopefully the suspect was shot also.

At least it was just in the hand. I am thankful I only get puke and poop on me at work. Be safe blue.

Radio feed just said "the civilian" shot in the ankle.

They're both "civilians", but I hope the police officer is ok.

Many in law enforcement do not see themselves as civilians for whatever reason.

In a situation like this, using the term civilian is the easiest way to differentiate between suspects and non suspects. We don't refer to ourselves as non-civilians. There are officers, suspects and civilians. Makes communication easier.

That makes a little more sense and, in this context, it makes perfect sense.

I just re-read my previous reply and it comes off a little as LEO-hating, but that's far from the truth.

I understand the officer will be OK but both civilians have been shot. I hope they are in deep pain for their actions. Senseless.

Hope these guys burn. My prayers to the officer for a speedy recovery.

Heard one of the suspects was killed

Oh, you're going to detain me (or my buddy, depending on gunman) for a suspended license? Better open fire.



Some people.

Sounds like he fought on.

 

[VUPDblue]

[mbills2223]

That takes stones.

 

[bwframe]

Never give up!

 

[tbhausen]

Yeah, big ones to work that part of town.

 

[VUPDblue]

I used to work from wash. to 10th between the split and sherman. I liked working over there...

Yes he did...an outstanding job!

Hope the officer heals quickly and without complication.
