street on the city's far-east side. "It is my understanding the officer was physically assaulted and possibly knocked
down, and maybe knocked out. At some point in time, he was able to fire and the suspect was shot multiple times," Thompson
said. The 35-year-old suspect later died at Wishard Hospital. The officer went to Methodist Hospital and is in stable condition
with head injuries.
