TELL CITY, Indiana — A 20-year veteran police officer was gunned down after a shootout with a suspect inside a southern Indiana hospital Monday morning.
During a news conference hours after the shooting, authorities said the shooting happened around 1 a.m. at Perry County Memorial Hospital.
That's when officials said Indiana State Police (ISP) and other local departments were called in for a "domestic dispute" between Sean Hubert, 34, and a woman, according to an ISP news release.
The female victim was able to make it to Perry County Memorial Hospital. She advised officers Hubert was on his way to the hospital.
Tell City Police Department Sergeant Heather Glenn attempted to arrest Hubert, however, officials say Hubert refused to comply.
Sergeant Glenn tasered Hubert in an attempt to control the suspect, but it didn't work.
During the struggle, Hubert pulled out a gun and shot Sergeant Glenn. Officers say Sergeant Glenn returned fire and shot Hubert.
Both Sergeant Glenn and Hubert were treated at the hospital and died from their injuries.
Glenn had worked with the Tell City Police Department for roughly 20 years.
Tell City Police Chief Derrick Lawalin said Sergeant Glenn was a good friend to everyone and will be sadly missed, but not forgotten.
Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb's statement on the fallen police sergeant:
“Another officer has fallen victim to the senseless act of violence. I urge Hoosiers to remember Tell City Police Sgt. Heather Glenn who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the safety of others. She dedicated nearly 20 years to serving the citizens of Perry County and Tell City and now her family needs our love and support more than ever.
Janet and I will hold her loved ones in our hearts during this painful time as they try and find peace and solace.”
An official memorial has been set up for Glenn at the German American Bank. Anyone who wants to donate can do so at any of their locations or by sending a check to the Tell City location.
