IMPD Officer Clings to Life

IMPD Officer Jason Fishburn is fighting for his life today after being shot in the head.  Fishburn was shot on the Eastiside in the 800 block of Euclid.  He and several other officers were serving a warrant on a man wanted in  the murder of 69-year old Clifford Haddox.

Fishburn was also shot in the torso.  He was taken to Wishard where doctors operated on him to alleviate the swelling in his brain.  He is now in  a medically induced coma.

The suspect was also shot, but his injuries were not life threatening.

Fishburn, 29, is a five-year veteran of IMPD, married and comes from a family that was in law enforcement.

Chief Mike Spears is calling on the community to pray for Fishburn.

    The question is, will officers be proactive during black expo and stop the drug use,the many fights that break out, enforce curfew laws(not doing what they did last year, the fake curfew enforcement, could only stop 12 and under, driving around using the pa to give warnings for hours before taking action). and take action against the needless cruising. What is wrong with an event that over 200 police officers are used to control it? What happens to the rest of city when everyone is downtown?
  • BigRic
    This is really uncalled for and too bad. A combination of consecutive murders, a shot police officer, a police force in defensive-mode, and the evening festivities brought on by IN Black Expo should make for an interesting next few weeks.

    What do we know so far about the shooter? Did he have priors? Was on the street because the jail was was full?
    No photo or mug shot anywhere to be found. If the guy had priors then where's the mugshot?
    I'd like to see what this scum looks like.
    What's the deal on the shooter?

    Deus meus,
    cum sis omnipotens,
    infinite misericors et fidelis,
    spero Te mihi daturum,
    ob merita Iesu Christi,
    vitam aeternam et gratias
    necessarias ad eam consequendam,
    quam Tu promisisti iis qui bona opera facient,
    quemadmodum, Te adiuvante, facere constituo.
  • Shorebreak
    My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Fishburn and his family.

    In the words of Leon Russell:

    Well, I don't exactly know
    What's going on in the world today
    Don't know what there is to say
    About the way the people are treating
    Each other, not like brothers

    Leaders take us far away from ecology
    With mythology and astrology
    Has got some words to say
    About the way we live today
    Why can't we learn to love each other
    It's time to turn a new face
    To the whole world wide human race

    Stop the money chase
    Lay back, relax
    Get back on the human track
    Stop racing toward oblivion
    Oh, such a sad, sad state we're in
    And that's a thing

    Do you recognize the bells of truth
    When you hear them ring
    Won't you stop and listen
    To the children sing
    Won't you come on and sing it children

    He's a stranger in a strange land

    More true today than when he wrote them...

    The shooter was wounded in the shoulder and is in custody. He is the suspect in the murder of the elderly man who was beat to death in his home on Hamilton Ave.
  • Think Again
    I know this family. There isn't a finer family in the law enforcement community. What a crying shame this is.

    Of course they have our prayers. Godspeed, Jason.

    Shot for serving a warrant. You didn't mention the arrest of the shooter...I'm assuming that happened.

    The job of LEOs is never simple. The easiest of tasks can be deadly.

    We should all keep the officer and his family in our prayers. I am.
