I read this earlier/saw it on the news up here before leaving for work. South of Palmyra on 135… somewhere stopping to help a stranger isn’t the exception. At least it wasn’t. WTAF-over?

 

[gregkl]

So who fired the shots? From what I read, there were cops, the driver of the Escape and the two good Samaritans. And the driver of the Escape and one Samaritan dead.

I can't seem to wrap my head around this one.

This whole situation doesn't make much sense with the information they've released.

Yeah, the details are lacking.

Probable doped up and passed out.Was startled when woke and started shooting.Thats my speculation.

But the driver was shot and killed along with one of the good samaritans... That's what's confusing to me.

Same here.

 

[Combat Engineer]

He woke shot the Samaritan and then the cop opened fire.just my guess.

 

[Gabriel]

He woke shot the Samaritan and then the cop opened fire.just my guess.

With the limited information given, something like this would be my guess.

 

[KellyinAvon]

No updates that I saw. South of Palmyra on 135. It's been almost 15 years since I was down that way, but I spent a lot of my younger days in that area. Not much after Uhl's until New Salisbury. Hell about anywhere on 135 from Corydon to Brownstown if somebody looked like they needed help I'd have stopped.

 

[Combat Engineer]

I work in New Salisbury and spoke to the police.They couldn't tell me anything yet.

 

[jwamplerusa]

I looked up multiple new stories. They all appear to be based on the press release, and do not make sense.

There is a bunch of missing info in the narrative, likely on purpose.

 

[Combat Engineer]

The cops know what happened.They just can't tell me just yet.

 

[bwframe]

The cops have to have all of their ducks in line, since this involves an officer shooting. Right or wrong, good or bad, they don't want run away rumors and supposition.

We all remember the newbie state cop that shot the guy working on his daughter's car in Crawfordsville a few years back. The cops do too.

Just gotta get that little jab in there, eh?

I'm sorry you feel that way. I apologize, if you were somehow offended.

I'm not offended, because I've come to expect it on INGO. No one knows what happened but you felt the need to get that jab in there and insinuate the officer did something wrong.

I'm sorry that you are mistaken sir. I made no such insinuation.

I was actually explaining why law enforcement might be taking a minute to make sure nothing is said that could be mistaken or blown out of proportion.

This isn't the first time you have accused me of being anti-cop when I am certainly not. I'm not sure whether this is about me personally, or that you are a bit jaded about INGO and want to throw us all into the category of the few but loud cop bashers on here?

One way or another, I will apologize again to you sir. Your professional input is invaluable on INGO and I'm just a running mouth. I will do my best not to irritate you further.
