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.
