Now, 12 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 3: the shooting happened around one point thirty am. This was 13 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 3: near South Meridian and East Marylandes. 14 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 2: The woman's stable. 15 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's like right where my family, part of 16 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: my family stays and lives. I mean, it's just it's 17 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 1: stunning when you say it out loud like that. Yeah, 18 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: it was a shooting on monuments, sir, one of. 19 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,240 Speaker 3: The most popular areas that downtown has to offer, and 20 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,440 Speaker 3: the victim unstable. IMPD said they've got a person of 21 00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 3: interest detained, but they're not calling the detainee a suspect. 22 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,040 Speaker 2: At this time. 23 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:29,440 Speaker 3: So there's one now late Saturday night, and a lot 24 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 3: of you saw this video on social media. I think 25 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 3: the Indian Apple was watch page was one of the 26 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 3: first pages to have this out there. 27 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: Yeah. 28 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 3: IMPD responded to a call of some drunken idiot allegedly 29 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: plowing into some people, hitting an officer somebody else that 30 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 3: was like a security guard, dragging them a little bit, 31 00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 3: and then fleeing the scene. Now, they ultimately found the 32 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 3: individual that did this, but he was uncooperative with the police, 33 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 3: tried to flee from the police. 34 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: I don't say. 35 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 2: And our news partners. 36 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 3: At WISH TV spoke to some folks that frequent these 37 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 3: downtown bars about what the heck is going on. 38 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 4: There's always a lot going on downtown. There's always a 39 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,839 Speaker 4: lot of people fighting and acting crazy. So I feel 40 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 4: like the situation was really crazy. Everybody usually makes it 41 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 4: home safe, sometimes it's chaotic. Unfortunately, that's what happened the 42 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 4: other night. 43 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:33,960 Speaker 2: Guys. 44 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: Mugshot looks like he's the son of Gallagher, comedian that 45 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: smashed watermelons with giant hammers. 46 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 3: Now, if you remember, Gallagher's brother had a bad relationship 47 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 3: with Gallagher. He tried to tour the country as Gallagher 48 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 3: and Gallagher had to sue his brother to the point 49 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,839 Speaker 3: to where his brother had to call himself Gallagher IWO, 50 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,680 Speaker 3: butod he spelled it. 51 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 2: Toh, Gallagher too. 52 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: Didn't mean to take you off on a little sidetrack there, 53 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 3: but great moments in Gallagher history. 54 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: I love it. 55 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 3: The new chief of police for IMPD, Tanya Terry, she 56 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: put out a statement and I agree with this wholeheartedly. 57 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: Quote. 58 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 3: What is the most disappointing is that many people continued 59 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 3: recording on their phones and going about their night after 60 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 3: watching those working to keep the area safe get injured. 61 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 3: I'm thankful for the few individuals who stepped forward to help. 62 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw people laughing. I don't even maybe cheering 63 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: is too strong of a word, but just they. 64 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,840 Speaker 2: Thought it was all a joke. Right. 65 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: There's the vibe that I got from that video that 66 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: you were talking about, that you were talking about earlier. 67 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 3: And that's part of the decay of society. You see 68 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 3: this in schools where there's just somebody getting the crap 69 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 3: beat out of them in a school. Whether it's a 70 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 3: bullying thing, whether it's something else, I don't know. Yeah, 71 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: somebody's really getting hurt and bludgeoned and nobody's. 72 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 2: Breaking it up. 73 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 3: Everybody wants to laugh, cheer and record it and post 74 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: it to social media. That sucks because there's gonna be 75 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 3: a time where somebody you love is gonna need help. 76 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 2: And how are you going to feel? 77 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 3: And I hate being this preachy to you guys on 78 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 3: a Monday, but how are you guys going to feel 79 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 3: if nobody's helping your loved one and they're just sitting 80 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 3: around laughing, scratching their anus and recording it and posting 81 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 3: it to social media. 82 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: I wonder if there's like a case to be made 83 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: in some of those videos, like lawsuits filed or criminal charges. 84 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: I don't know, but it is a disturbing trend for sure. 85 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 3: So I'm curious to see what happens with Indy now 86 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: because we had a pretty good start to the year 87 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 3: in terms of crime. But also there's some pretty nasty 88 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 3: weather too we were dealing with. I don't know if 89 00:04:55,400 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 3: it's an official polar vortex, but lots of snow, extreme cold, 90 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 3: and maybe that held some of the nonsense down just 91 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 3: a little bit. Now that the temperatures are starting to 92 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: get above normal. 93 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: Boy, if this is a harbinger of things to come 94 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:13,800 Speaker 1: here this summer in this city. 95 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: It's bad keeping it here in Indy. Marion County Prosecutor 96 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 3: Ryan Mears says he doesn't like the homeless camp ban. 97 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:30,280 Speaker 3: Now that homeless camp ban is scheduled to become official today. 98 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 3: This was passed through the Indiana General Assembly, and it's 99 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 3: sitting on the governor's desk. If the governor doesn't do 100 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 3: anything by today, it becomes law. Doesn't necessarily have to 101 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 3: sign it. If he just lets it sit there, it 102 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: still becomes the law. So a person, if they're near 103 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 3: a homeless camp, they can be arrested and taken to 104 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: some sort of facility if they don't coincide with this law, 105 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 3: because authorities will now tell you, hey, you can't set 106 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 3: up an encampment here. 107 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:05,239 Speaker 2: Move along. 108 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,160 Speaker 3: This is your warning being by a boom. And let's 109 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 3: be honest, they're probably going to be very patient with 110 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 3: these folks early on. But if you become a habitual 111 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 3: encampment individual, yeah, this new law says you. 112 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 2: Can get locked up. 113 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 3: But you're Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Meers he's got a 114 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 3: problem with this quote. Not only is it bad policy, 115 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 3: it's going to be very difficult to implement. 116 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: Oh, it's too hard under the ban. 117 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 3: And I'm reading this word for word. People would get 118 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,679 Speaker 3: a first warning and they would have forty eight hours 119 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 3: to move at least three hundred feet away from the encampment. 120 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 3: And then the prosecutor goes on to say, not only 121 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 3: is it a bad policy, it's going to be difficult 122 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 3: to implement. 123 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: Where are they going to go? Where are they going 124 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 2: to live? 125 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 3: With all due respect to the prosecutor, that's not your 126 00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 3: job to ask that question. 127 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: It's not your job to care where they go. 128 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 3: Your job is to prosecute people by the letter of 129 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 3: the law. I know how badly that ballheaded goon wants 130 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 3: to be the mayor, but you're not the mayor. You're 131 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 3: not even running for the mayor just yet. So how 132 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 3: about you just focus on the job that you've got 133 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 3: right now. I don't like the fact that you let 134 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 3: violent repeat offenders out on the street time and time again. 135 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: But here we are, Captain Jordan's do your job be 136 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 3: a prosecutor. I don't give a blue rats ass what 137 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 3: you think about the law. 138 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: Go by the letter of the law. I don't think 139 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 2: that's asking too much nice and. 140 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: For in for me to say it's gonna be very 141 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 1: difficult to implement. But yeah, your job is hard. I'll 142 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: could see that much about the job you do. It's hard. 143 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: It's being a police officer is hard. Enforcing the law 144 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: is hard. Complaining about it to your public who you're 145 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: out there to protect. This is going to be too hard, right, 146 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: This makes you look like a weakling. 147 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 2: Correct do your job you were elected to do. 148 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 3: I don't care what your thoughts are on where these 149 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 3: people have to go. 150 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: This was passed through the Indiana State House. 151 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,400 Speaker 3: And there's a reason why a lot of these lawmakers 152 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: are now going to the Indiana State House as opposed 153 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 3: to trying to work with local communities because woke prosecutors 154 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 3: and soft on crime prosecutors like the one here in 155 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: Marion County have made things problematic. So yeah, I just 156 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 3: don't give a damn what Ryan Meers has to say 157 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 3: about where are they going to go? When you're the 158 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 3: mayor one day you can have that conversation, but right 159 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 3: now you're not. And you couldn't beat vob Bosley in 160 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 3: a primary anyway. Chances are you'd probably lose to Boss 161 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 3: hawk Set after he's had about six or seven shots 162 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 3: of slowly, allegedly
