Give some thought to Butler today.....
AP) A man fatally shot a Butler University police officer during a confrontation Friday outside the school's Hinkle Fieldhouse, police said.
Hundreds of officers were searching the area around the campus on the city's north side for the shooter, who fled on foot, Indianapolis police Sgt. Steve Staletovich said.
The officer was shot once in the head and was pronounced dead soon after he was taken to a hospital, Staletovich said. The name of the officer was not immediately released.
The officer was called to Hinkle on a report of a suspicious person in the building as the Butler women's basketball team was practicing, Staletovich said.
The man was outside the building when the Butler officer arrived and witnesses reported hearing a single gunshot and then seeing the man pick up a gun and run away, he said.
Staletovich said he did not know what the man was doing inside the fieldhouse that prompted the initial call to police.
Butler University is a private school of about 4,300 students.
