Anderson officer placed on leave while IMPD investigates shootout over stolen car
The off-duty Anderson Police officer who was involved in a shootout with two suspects after he reported his personal vehicle stolen was placed on administrative leave, the department said. According to an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department detective, officer Maurice Magee and his brother-in-law tracked down his Dodge Challenger in the Woodruff Place neighborhood on the city's east side using a GPS tracker. "Officer Magee is on administrative leave, and we are working closely with IMPD to determine the facts surrounding the incident," the Anderson department said in an email to IndyStar. Magee is a 2-year officer with the Anderson Police Department. He graduated from the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy in 2023. He's served as a school resource officer and, in 2024, was recognized by the department for his part in rescuing a woman from a vehicle submerged in a retention pond. About 5 a.m. May 19, Magee, who lives in Indianapolis, reported his Dodge Challenger stolen to Indianapolis police. According to the detective on the case, Magee and his brother-in-law found the car in the Woodruff Place neighborhood. Magee did not immediately inform IMPD that he had found the car, the detective said. Witnesses heard gunshots and saw the shootout, which resulted in Magee's stolen vehicle crashing into an iron fence in front of a home. A child's bedroom in a nearby home was struck by gunfire. IMPD responded to the 911 calls in the 600 block of Woodruff Place West Drive about 6:30 a.m. on May 19. They initially reported that the Anderson officer was believed to have been grazed by a bullet, but after being examined, it was learned he had fallen, police said. Officers quickly determined that two suspects had run from the Dodge. A perimeter was set up around the area as officers, the K-9 Unit, and a drone began searching the area for the suspects. Arsenal Tech High School and H.L. Harshman Middle School were briefly placed on lockdown. The two suspects got away. Anyone with information about this incident can reach Detective Larry Craciunoiu at 317-327-3475 or by email at You can call Crime Stoppers of Central Indiana at 317.262.8477 or (TIPS) to remain anonymous.

Friday night storms hit Madison County area with high winds, rain, hail
MADISON COUNTY — Storms struck Madison County on Friday night, downing trees and utility poles and lines. A tornado watch for the Madison County area and much of Indiana had been issued earlier in the evening. Reported wind gusts increased to about 75 mph during the storm, resulting in several downed power lines around the county. Homes in Frankton and Alexandria — which officials said was hit hardest by the storm — had trees fall on them, according to Tom Ecker, executive director of the Madison County Emergency Management Agency. One person sustained a minor injury to his wrist, he said. The Madison County EMA reported hail measuring 3.4 inches in diameter and winds of 70 miles per hour, with gusts as high as 83 mph near Frankton. In Anderson, some metal pieces were torn off the roof of Anderson Police headquarters downtown, according to Caleb McKnight, public information officer for APD. He said damage to the building appeared to be minor. The Herald Bulletin will update this story.
