Officer-Involved Shooting Occurred Overnight at the Evansville Regional Airport
Vanderburgh County – Saturday morning, November 18, at approximately 12:22 a.m., Evansville Police, Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office, and Indiana State Police responded to the Evansville Regional Airport reference to a male allegedly threatening airport personnel with a knife. When officers arrived, they encountered the male inside the lobby area of the airport, and he was in possession of a knife. Officers negotiated with the male for approximately 15 minutes before the male aggressively moved toward the officers with the knife still in his hand. Officers from the Evansville Police, Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office and one Indiana State Trooper discharged their firearm. Officers immediately summoned for an ambulance and started life-saving measures on the male before he was transported to an Evansville Hospital. The suspect’s name, condition, and pending charges will be released later. No officers were injured during this incident.
Officer Involved Shooting
 On November 18th, at 12:22 a.m., Evansville Central Dispatch received a call from the Evansville Regional Airport for a disorderly subject inside the lobby. The caller stated that the male was threatening airport personnel, he had an approximate 4-inch knife, and was using it to tear up furniture. Members of the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office, Indiana State Police and the Evansville Police Department arrived on scene. They encountered the adult male suspect in the lobby area inside the airport and he was holding a knife. No one else was in the immediate area at that time.Â
A Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Deputy, who is also a Negotiator, was one of the first to arrive. The Deputy attempted to gain rapport with the suspect by negotiating for nearly 15 minutes. The suspect stated he was upset about his status in Evansville and wanted to go back to his country.Â
During negotiations, numerous commands were given for the suspect to drop the knife. On several occasions, the suspect yelled at the officers to just shoot him. The suspect never dropped the knife and at one point, he put the tip of the knife to his head and made a stabbing motion. The suspect escalated the situation when he yelled obscenities at the officers, jumped out of his seat, and aggressively moved towards officers with the knife in hand.Â
Between EPD, VCSO and ISP, less lethal tools were on scene. Due to the suspect escalating the situation, lethal force and less lethal force were utilized at the same time. Three Evansville Police Officers fired their duty weapons. Members of the Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office and Indiana State Police also fired their weapons.Â
Life-saving measures were quickly rendered to the suspect on scene prior to AMR arrival. The suspect was transported by AMR to a local hospital for treatment. At this time, the suspect is in critical condition and still receiving treatment. No officers were injured during the incident. The suspect’s name and pending charges will be released at a later time.Â
Per protocol, all three EPD Officers were taken to the hospital for blood draw and the EPD Peer Support Team was called in to assist the officers. All three officers will be placed on Administrative Leave during the investigation, which is also protocol.Â
A press conference will likely be held on Monday, November 20th, to discuss further details about this investigation. The location and time of the press conference will be announced on Monday morning.Â
No. 6/9 Indiana Wins Nine Events in Second Night of Midseason
BLOOMINGTON – Indiana swimming and diving completed the second day of the Ohio State Invitational on Friday (Nov. 17) as the men’s team extended its lead, and the women remained steady in second. IU won nine events Friday night inside the McCorkle Aquatic Pavilion.
The IU women opened the night with an NCAA A cut in the 200 medley relay, going 1:36.20. Indiana finished fourth but swam faster than the previous meet record (1:36.42) set in 2013. Indiana’s quartet was junior Kacey McKenna (24.41), junior Brearna Crawford (27.33) and sophomores Chiok Sze Yeo (23.44) and Kristina Paegle (21.02).
The Hoosier men had the two best 200 medley relays as a Louisville and Ohio State each had their ‘A’ relays disqualified for false starts. Indiana’s ‘A’ group of senior Brendan Burns (21.40), junior Josh Matheny (23.39) and seniors Tomer Frankel (19.83) and Gavin Wight (19.22) finished in 1:23.84, just .13 seconds short of the NCAA A standard.
In the very next event, Frankel and Burns were part of a top-three sweep of the men’s 100-yard butterfly. Frankel, the bronze medalist at last year’s NCAA Championships, finished first in 45.26, followed by junior Finn Brooks (45.99) and Burns (45.97). The trio smashed the previous pool record of 47.98.
Freshman Toby Barnett was the runner-up in the 400 IM, recording a 3:42.54 as four Hoosiers finished in the top 10. Junior Ching Hwee Gan was the top Hoosier in the women’s race, placing third in 4:12.21. Senior Anna Freed (4:12.94) took fifth and freshman Reese Tiltmann (4:13.21) was sixth.
After taking the 500 free on Thursday, junior Anna Peplowski captured her second individual win of the week in the 200-yard race in 1:42.97. She led a 1-3-4 finish for the Hoosiers, as Paegle went 1:45.43 and senior Ella Ristic got in at 1:45.91.
Competitors at the 2023 World Aquatics Championships, Notre Dame’s Chris Guiliano and IU junior Rafael Miroslaw battled it out in the men’s 200 free. Miroslaw led through 150 yards, but Guiliano pulled in front on the final leg to win in 1:32.14. The Hoosier came in at 1:32.52 as both swimmers finished under the pool and meet record times.
The Hoosier men swept again in the 100-yard breaststroke. The trio of senior Jassen Yep (51.49), junior Josh Matheny (51.81) and Maxwell Reich (51.87) all swam under the meet record time (51.88) and were the only three under 52 seconds. It was also the first time either Yep or Reich had ever swum under 52 seconds.
Junior Kacey McKenna and sophomore Mya DeWitt shared a special moment in the 100-yard backstroke, tying for first in 52.47. The two Hoosiers were never separated by more than .18 seconds. On the men’s side, senior and reigning NCAA Champion Brendan Burns flexed his muscles by dropping a 45.29 and setting a meet record. He was half a second faster than the field.
Junior Skyler Liu was stellar on the boards again, taking her first win of the week on the 3-meter springboard with a 297.25 – 13.8 points better than second place. Liu was second in the 1-meter competition Thursday. Sophomore Morgan Casey was third with an NCAA Zone Qualifying mark of 275.70.
Both winning teams in the 800 freestyle relay won by over four seconds. All four women’s splits were under 1:46.20, and Peplowski (1:43.52 split) was the only woman under 1:44. Ristic, Gan, Peplowski and Paegle recorded a 7:01.08, enough for an NCAA ‘B’ cut. For the men, Miroslaw (1:32.53), sophomore Kai Van Westering (1:34.41), Frankel (1:33.98) and Burns (1:34.63) captured a meet record and ‘A’ cut in 6:15.55. Miroslaw’s opening split was one of two under 1:33 and just one hundredth of a second short of his 200 free earlier in the evening.
