当局称，周一早些时候，一名印第安纳州退伍中士在应对医院骚乱时被枪杀。
印第安纳州警官约翰·戴维斯在新闻发布会上说，凌晨12点50分左右，泰尔市警官希瑟·格伦和其他警官对泰尔市佩里县纪念医院的骚乱做出了回应，该医院位于印第安纳州和肯塔基州边境附近。
戴维斯说，警察和34岁的肖恩·休伯特在医院发生了口角，并开了枪。
戴维斯说，格伦和休伯特在交火中被击中，两人当场死亡。
州警方称，事件始于周日，当时格伦正在调查一名女子与休伯特之间的家庭纠纷。警方说，在该女子去医院接受治疗后，休伯特也前往医院，格伦试图在现场逮捕他。
戴维斯说，格伦已经为佩里县警长办公室和关系紧密的泰尔市警察局工作了近20年。
“我们失去了一位亲爱的同事，亲爱的朋友，”告诉市警察局长德里克·拉瓦林说。“格伦中士，她是我们部门的基石。我们非常伤心。”
拉瓦林赞扬了现场所有警察表现出的勇气。他要求公众的想法和祈祷不仅是为了执法，也是为了嫌疑人的家人。

At about 12:50 a.m., Tell City Sgt. Heather Glenn and other officers responded to a disturbance at Perry County Memorial Hospital in Tell City, located near the Indiana-Kentucky border, Indiana State Police Sgt. John Davis said at a news conference.
An altercation unfolded at the hospital between the officers and 34-year-old Sean Hubert, and shots were fired, Davis said.
Glenn and Hubert were shot in an exchange of gunfire and both died at the scene, Davis said.

The incident began on Sunday when Glenn investigated a domestic dispute between a woman and Hubert, state police said. After the woman went to the hospital to be treated for injuries, Hubert also headed to the hospital, and Glenn tried to arrest him at the scene, police said.
Glenn had worked for the Perry County Sheriff's Office and the tight-knit Tell City Police Department for nearly 20 years, Davis said.
"We've lost a dear colleague, dear friend," Tell City Police Chief Derrick Lawalin said. "Sgt. Glenn, she's a cornerstone of our department. We're extremely heartbroken."
Lawalin praised the courage he said all officers displayed at the scene. He asked for the public's thoughts and prayers not only for law enforcement, but also for the family of the suspect.
