Another shooting in Brownsburg, closer than ever to my home.

This one happened within easy walking distance to my house. Right across the street from a playground my kids play on often:

Hendricks Co. Sheriff: Man found shot to death after vehicle crashes into home

Update (10:49 a.m. on March 6) Officials with the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office said that a 15-year-old Brownsburg resident has been arrested in relation to this incident. Original Story:…

Talking to the parents while dropping my kids off for the school bus, some of the neighborhood kids actually saw the dead body.

Of course, I will be very interested to know what led up to this.

Interesting terminology. Originally a wreck but upgraded to person shot.

Reminded me of ordering at McDonald's.

Sounds like someone may have shot him and he was trying to drive himself to get help. So no way to know where the shooting occurred or even if it was accidental, or what?

We left Brownsburg last year, after being their 15 years. It doesn't surprise me that this happened with the way the town is changing, quite rapidly I might add.

The Meijer going in at 56th and 900 will surely help attract stellar individuals...

The neighborhood kid they interviewed said in the embedded video he heard the shots so it sounds like it happened in or near the neighborhood.

Hopefully someone’s ring camera caught something.

Im gonna assume drugs were involved.

 

[1nderbeard]

yikes.

Im gonna assume drugs were involved.

4 or so years ago one stellar outstanding citizen approached me about buying weed on the B&O trail in Brownsburg. I should have been aware anyway, but that incident really opened my eyes.

@cbhausen do your best to keep this north of 300N

If this was Marion County he would be out and had finished his breakfast by now.

between stuff like this and the ever increasing traffic I'm starting to regret the decision on moving to the burg 12 years ago.

When I moved there, 56th was a two lane road. We had started to plan our exit a few years ago. It was a great community when we moved in, just growing to fast with poor planning and they never built the wall on 56th St to keep the hoodlums from Indy out...

Property values are still super high, cash out while you can!

I think it should be illegal for a 15 year old kid to get a gun.

I think murder should be illegal too.

I doubt it.

More likely a Baptist and an Amish arguing about theology.

I feel the same way about Avon. Been here 10 years and all of the beautiful farms and open land I loved are now covered by concrete, warehouses and vinyl villages. I never heard much traffic or sirens but now it’s an everyday occurrence. Looking to move further west now.

@cbhausen, pretty great the way you framed that dumb kid who kept stealing your newspaper. Keep up the good lords work.

That was our first thought, but our thoughts are the great westward expansion will continue...so we moved wayyyy southwest.

Yeah I understand. We built our house 20 years ago in the middle of nowhere. Now we stare at warehouses and the amount of traffic and trash is ridiculous

Was just going to post something like this.

It is obvious that we need more laws since too many people don't follow the existing ones.
