2 IMPD officers killed

[IndyDave1776]

This is very sad. I wish I had more words.

I can understand the sentiment. One could muse on the fact that it is tragic that someone felt the need to end his own and someone else's corporeal existence in such a way, wonder what would drive a person to do so, and so on, but in the end we are left with a tragedy which makes a person feel sympathy for the survivors, the one murdered prior to the suicide, and for the tortured soul who would feel the need to do such a thing. All said and done, you feel what you feel, but there really is not much a person can say of constructive value. Just count yourself a decent person for feeling what you feel.

Prayers for everyone who is going to be deeply affected by this.

Ugh. Hopefully no kids.

One of the articles says there is a son, but from the context, it sounds like he is grown.

From what I read, at least 1 son, apparently also IMPD

Sad to hear this. Thoughts go out to the officers' families, both blood and uniformed.

Wow. Terrible news.

 

[scott delaney]

while tragic in its own right, things like this happen everyday. we some how believe that the ones who serve and protect us are immune to such. the fact is stress of the world we live in affects people in different way, some just cant seem to handle it and it leads to decisions shock the public. with that said I will say a prayer for the families, friends and co-workers

2 IMPD officers found dead on Far Westside

Not that common among LEOs. Far more discipline. We occasionally have this happen in the military, especially with younger soldiers. Far more common among civilians.

I didn't want to go into detail, because ultimately it is irrelevant of the fact that two people have died.
But I am working on a mural for IMPD fallen officers. This puts a little more strain on that job. again... irrelevant. I tried a bunch of ways to articulate it in that initial post... none succeeded.

I sit here reading about this horrible thing. I read the responses from many of you and try as I may I am just with out words. The sadness of this is beyond measure.

Prayers and positive thoughts to those family and friends who will be effected directly by this.

 

[Trooper]

Yes, it is going to really hurt those officers who worked with them. Suicide always does.

 

[VUPDblue]

this is everyone's only warning

As I watched the news about this I find that we know the family. This is seriously sad now.

So sorry for your loss, as well as family, friends and coworkers of the deceased. So very sad.

So sorry for your loss, as well as family, friends and coworkers of the deceased. So very sad.

I was not really close to them but know many of the family. Kind of numb right now.
